Rashes in 3rd trimester

Hello. Im 36 weeks pregnant.. and I’m having quite a bad rash. Not sure if it’s hives or PUPPP. Having these white little bumps all over. Is it okay to use calamine lotion?

Rashes in the third trimester are quite common but honestly it's best to check with your gynae or PD to confirm what it is, since PUPPP and hives do need different treatments and you want to make sure it's safe for bubs. Calamine can usually be used but some doctors prefer other options in pregnancy, so definitely ask before applying anything. How much longer till your due date, hope it settles down soon for you.
