I thought it was suppose to go away after delivery! My friend said hers didn't but I figured she was just a rare case or something. It is on my thighs the worst as well as on my back but the place on my thighs is horrible - all red and raised and horribly itchy. However, I don't want anymore steriods because of the reaction I had while pregnant. Does anyone have a clue how long it could take for it to go away or even if it will go away on it's own???

I don't have any advice but I sure hope it clears up soon...that sounds awful.

Oh man

That really sucks!!! Mine went away right after delivery. It was weird. I didn't even notice. It was like one minute it was there then it was gone. I hope it clears up soon!!

That sounds terrible.

I don't know much about it, but I hope it goes away ASAP!

My GF had it with her pragnancy too, and afterwards. I'm pretty sure it just slowly cleared up on it's own.

Lurking from Due in August. I have PUPPS also and got it at 26 weeks!!!!!
It actually went away already on my belly, but I got it back with a vengance on my left arm and was sooooo itchy. I ended up at the dermatologist and they also said it was PUPPS. I was using the cortaid cream and it was still soo itchy. So I got fed up with the cream one night that I just washed it off and soaped my arm up real good and dried it. I kept doing this about 3-4x a day with the soap and water and dried it really well and finally it cleared up!!
Good luck!!
