Almost Self-Reliant
I'm 34 weeks along in my pregnancy, and developed a pupps rash last week.
It's incredibly itchy, to the point of wanting to scratch my skin off. It starts just below my neck and goes right to the tip of my toes. According to the doctor the only way to get rid of it is to deliver the baby... that's 6 WEEKS away. He's willing to induce me 2 weeks early especially if I start getting infections in my skin, but I don't want to have to do that either.
I read online that Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap will work to sooth the itching, but I can't find it anywhere in Canada...
Does anyone have a great home cure for itchy rash? Right now I'm using colloidial oatmeal lotion and calamine lotion... I don't have a bathtub so I can't soak in a cool oatmeal bath... I just need something to help the itching before I go crazy, I can't sleep, or get comfortable at all.
