I have a classic case of PUPPP (the pregnancy rash) and have been so incredibly miserable the past month or so. My dermatologist and OB finally teamed up and decided that I needed an oral steroid in order to save my sanity. Topical creams were no longer working and it has spread everywhere. Everywhere except my face thank goodness, but it's horrible on every other inch of my body.

I was very hesitant to start prednisone and finally took my first dose this morning. Please share your experience here if you took this during pregnancy. I have done so much research but nothing mentions third trimester risks. I'm 35 weeks today.

Also, apparently this drug will dry up my breastmilk if I continue taking it after DD is born. Any experience here? Derm told me that PUPPP may not go away immediately if I'm breastfeeding since my body may be tricked into thinking that I'm still pregnant. Any thoughts?
