Seeking Information About a Rash During Pregnancy

I am 14 weeks pregnant and I have a rash that started around my belly button and now has spread around my stomach and legs. I went to the doctor and they told me to put hydrocortizone ointment on it that it could be a pregnancy rash called PUPPS but that doesn't usually show up until the third trimester, eczama, or a fungal infection. It is itchy and red some areas have raised bumps. The ointment has not helped. Has anyone ever experiened this or think they know what it is or how to get releif? I go back to the doctor in a week.
