My OB says just take Benedryl and hydrocortisone cream. Has anyone had this nasty, itchy condition and found anything that wasn't drugs that worked? I've tried a number of things and so far only aloe gel and shea butter help a little. I am thinking of trying Rainiers soap and lotion for PUPPP which is similar and maybe taking dandelion to help from the inside out. I will probably see a dermatologist to confirm what specifically I am dealing with for sure, but I really don't want to take drugs if there is a natural means of healing it (Besides the steroidal cream didn't work at all anyway.) The itching is driving my nuts!
