What Causes Itchy Rash On Hands, Wrists And Feet During Pregnancy?

Hello, I am 7 weeks pregnant, and last night I developed a rash on both of my arms. It disappeared, but now it is on my hands, wrists, feet, and knees. It is very itchy and I don't know if I should take something or if something is seriously wrong. I'm not sure what I should do.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Development of itchy rash on arms which is now spreading to hands, wrists, feet and knees is suggestive of some kind of infection involving different parts o body.
Viral infections commonly cause rash and associated fever, however, clinical assessment is required to diagnose the condition and thus start with treatment.

Thanks and take care
