Rash with pregnancy: Pregnancy can lead to strange looking skin rash. Try putting moisturizer on the rash twice daily and see if it helps. If not, 1% hydrocortisone may be tried. If problem gets worse, consult your OB doctor who may consider a short course of oral cortisone. The condition is mostly cosmetic and usually subside with time.

Some basics: Any cream or lotion you consider using will not be absorbed into the blood and effect baby. Any oral or injected medication will enter the blood and will reach baby, so these should be cleared by your OB doc prior to use. There are many over the counter skin products you can use, but which ones are available in your country are not known to us. If you have a specific one in mind you can post again
