A rash isn’t a reliable early clue of pregnancy; most rashes come from irritation, allergy, heat, or infection, not a new pregnancy. A sudden rash can make your mind race, especially if your period is late. Here’s the straight truth: a rash by itself can’t confirm pregnancy. Some skin changes do show up during pregnancy,
