Patient's question:
Around four months pregnant, I noticed small red spots appearing on my abdomen. At first, they weren't very noticeable—just a tiny bit, and I thought they might be heat rash. Now, about a month later, they seem to be increasing in number. Could this be affecting the baby? What's going on? I'm very worried... What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy can easily lead to skin itching. It is important to first test your urine for a thorough examination to rule out intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). It is recommended to relax and not be overly anxious. If ICP is ruled out, you can apply calamine lotion externally and take two hydrocortisone creams internally for treatment.The above advice is for the question "Around four months pregnant, small red spots have appeared on the abdomen." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
