Q: Puppp (pruritic Urticarial Papules And Plaques)

Has anyone in here ever had puppp? It appeared on my arm yesterday after I took a shower right when the arm bends. It is very itchy I go to the doc on monday but I was wondering if anyone in here knows of anything I can do until then. And it's kind of weird because I read up on puppp and it said that it usually occurs in women pregnant with their first child or carrying twins. And I don't fit into either one of those categories/ any advice is great. Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you have excema, not puppp. If it's just a patch of dryness on your arm then that's prob what it is. Get some aveeno cream.

I have puppp, and what you described doesn't sound like it. Puppp is more common in first time pregnancy and multiples. But the odds of getting it are like 1-200. It starts typically on the abdomen, in strecth marks, and can spread. It is very itchy, and doesn't just go away, delivery seems to be the only cure. Try some aveeno.
