Patient's question:
At 38 weeks pregnant, I've developed many small bumps on my chest, upper body, and arms. When they're not itchy, they're small dots, but when they itch and I scratch them, the red spots get bigger. What's going on? Can I apply medication? Will it affect the baby? The bumps on my arms look like they've been scratched, and they're extremely itchy when they start to itch.Doctor's answer:
You are currently 38 weeks pregnant. If you experience these symptoms, it is recommended to rest sufficiently and fast sufficiently before going to the hospital to check liver function and total bile acid. If it decreases, you should consider intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and require treatment. Wait for me. If everything is normal, it should be considered that you have been exposed to something that caused an allergic reaction. It is recommended to use calamine lotion to externally wash the affected area for treatment.
