skin problems.

That sounds awful! I've had really bad acne this whole time, but no red flaky patches. Maybe that's the "mask of pregnancy" that some women get?

I have had random "bites" on my stomach since about 6 weeks along. They look like mosquito bites- and they inch..but there is only like 3 or 4 at a time. Then they will clear up and other ones will show up in a different location (never anywhere but my tummy) My doctor has no explaination for it. She asked me if I had fleas- which I dont.

I haven't had that just REALLY REALLY bad acne... like im 15 years old!

Extra Dry Skin Patches, its super common during pregnancy, try some Eucerine Cream...I went to my Derma, and she recommended it.

I have some form of exima(sp) that usually goes crazy when Im pregnant. I got it on my upper thigh with both pregnancys and it gets worse on my face. The DR can give you something for it that helps alot.! Atleast its one of those pregnancy discomforts you can do something about!

My skin is definitely acting funny. It's really dry, and flakey. I keep getting really tiny white heads/pimples on my face. NOT attractive. I thought we were supposed to be glowing??

I have a red circle on my arm that looks like a bite, too... very weird! No fleas here, either...

Its common to get hives during pregnancy....I randomly get them. In my first pregnancy I broke out ALOT in hives...I guess its the change n hormones and blah blah blah

I have been getting a small rash on my upper foot, wrist and arm. I have been using Eucerin and its working nicely. I think its a form of PUPPS. A common rash pg woman get.

Not to freak you out, but if you work with animals (cows, horses etc.) or spend a lot of time outside you may want to get checked for ring worm. It occurs in perfect little circles that itch and get dry. I agree with the other ladies that it is probably just a pregnancy skin thing, but the symmetry of the patches is concerning. Just a thought.

Thanks ladies.DH just found 2 more on my back today, which is another place I get really dry skin. So I am thinking it is just super dry skin.

I only have really dry skin on my forhead and my lips are chapped all the time right now, nothing seems to help. I have also been getting little red bumps almost like a heat rash (but its been cold) on my arms so who knows... this pregnancy is completely different than it was with DS.
