The PUPP rash is a rash some first time moms get during the end of pregnancy due to hormones. The only real cure is delivery but I can't take this rash for 2 more weeks. I need some relieve.

You can treat it with extra-strength cortisone creams, but occasionally nivea or vana cream works. You may need to be treated with oral steroids if the itching becomes too intense.
My sympathies!

I was so itchy near the end of my pregnancy that I couldn't sleep and thought I would go insane! The only thing that helped was to take a cold shower and then put on this cream called Sarna (the original version) It has Camphor and Menthol and was recommended to me for pregnancy itch. It doesn't smell great but it was the only thing that worked for me. You can get it over the counter at any drug store.
