So, so itchy.
suggests that new options are emerging that may offer greater accuracy in the future. For now, however, a biopsy should be enough to determine whether you truly have PUPP or something more serious.
It’s incredibly important to get a correct diagnosis of your PUPP because it can be easily confused with other, more serious conditions. That includes conditions such as as well as a rash called pemphigoid gestationis, which can look nearly exactly like PUPP and cause the baby to develop a blistering skin condition in their first six months of life. Yet another skin issue, can also look like PUPP, Dr. Duncan adds.
All three of these conditions are far less likely to occur than PUPP, but because they’re associated with more serious issues, it’s important to rule them out before going forward with PUPP treatment. Again, don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor if you break out in a rash.As we mentioned, PUPP generally resolves on its own, but it can be unpleasant to live with.
With time and patience, your PUPP rash will go away. But, before you self-diagnose and reach for a tube of anti-itch cream, be sure to rule out any other possible conditions. While PUPP is a mere annoyance, other rashes during pregnancy can be very dangerous. As Dr. Duncan says, when in doubt, get in touch with your doctor.
