Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 PUPPP means - Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy I had this horrible rash in my 1st pregnancy. I was the worst case my clinic had ever seen. After steroid treatment and cream, it did go away after delivery. I want to try to prevent it during my 2nd pregnancy and I've done a lot of research and have found (the cause) and that Dandelion Root and Milk Thistle (natural supplements to detoxify the liver) and Omega 3 Fish Oils are supplements that other women have taken to avolid the rash or if they actually have it, it clears it up. Are these OK to take during pregnancy? I just want to be sure before I start taking them. Thank you. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrina734 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I self diagnosed myself with the same via immense online research in between my OB appointments and found the recommendation for Dandelion Root....desperate having tried Pure topical Vitamin E oil etc. I began using the D.R. capsules with cocoa butter topically and shocked my doctors when they saw the results (with their knowledge of just how bad PUPPS can be). I showed them before pictures and in person a week later my belly in testimony to how effective my self therapy was. They actually asked me what I did and took notes for future patients. I hope this helps anyone in the future afflicted with the PUPPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
