A member asked:

I'm 28w pregnant, for the pass 3 weeks my pubic area is extra itchy. is it possible to get pupps down there?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Other causes: PUPPS tends to start on the abdomen with a red itchy rash and then spread outward. A local itch in the pubic area is not likely to be caused by PUPPS. Schedule a follow up with your Obgyn and have them do an exam to see what might be causing the itching
