38 weeks with a rash on my stomach?

Question

why do rashes show up in late pregnancy. their tiny red bumps. is that what a heat rash is?

Answer 1

Yes heat rash does look like that, but it could be from anything...changing laundry soap, bath soap, lotion...etc...if it is heat rash, just try to stay cool (if you can!), wear cotton shirts, etc...ask your doctor next time you see them too...best of luck, you're almost done!!

Answer 2

are the spots together? do they look clustered if so could be an infection under the skin or possibly shingles . because i had a under skin rash and did not fade for 3-4weeks best check with ur doctor incase it could be anything serious but then again could be what u says on it being a heat rash but stil get checked by a doctor 2 confirm it.

Answer 3

My sister in-law had a heat rash during her pregnancy that looked very much like what you are describing. I remember her saying it itched like crazy, so the doctor told her to soak in oatmeal baths. They sell packets of it in the beauty section of you local store. However the best advice would come from your doctor, always better to be safe then sorry :)

Answer 4

I had a rash and my doctor gave me a script to kill any fungus that could develop. He said it was because it is so humid this summer. It looked like heat rash to me, but the rash went away after I used the creamm.

Answer 5

It could be a heatrash, but to be on the safe side, you should have a doctor look at it.

Answer 6

I think I've heard of that happening. Talk to your doctor to be sure.

Answer 7

Its just the skin stretching

Answer 8

Are you using a new type of lotion? Soap? Maybe its that.
