Foot rash update

I had my appointment today, and the first thing on the agenda before getting the GBS and cervical check, was to ask about my rashy feet.

My doctor doesn't exactly know what it is. Because it hasn't spread to other body parts, she doesn't think it's necessarily PUPPP. But she had no other ideas to offer either. So she prescribed me some steroid cream to use 3x a week, and instructions to keep an eye on it. If it starts spreading, it's PUPPP. And unfortunately, the only sure way to get rid of it is to have the baby. Unfortunate because I'm 36 weeks, and unless it gets about 10x worse, I will refuse to be induced just because of it. So it's looking like I'll just have to live with it for the time being.
