Treat cause: Did they say what the cause of the rash might be? It is always best to both treat the rash and the cause of the rash if known. Common rashes are due to sensitivities external or internal, scabies, drugs, and viral infections. There are a few pregnancy specific itchy rashes however yours does not fit the timeline (PUPPP occurs usually around 36 weeks). Minimize soaps, eat healthy.
