Postpartum hives
I’m 9 days postpartum and have hives on my feet going up my legs and they’re always itchy, I’ve scratched them raw.
Is there anything I can put on them?

clobetasol was the only relief for any of my hives that would turn into hive plaques, then blisters, pregnant or not. I tried: oatmeal baths, Epsom salt baths, domeboro, aloe, hydrocortisone, Benadryl (orally and dermal), my anti-itch snake oil, cool compresses, poison ivy OTC and prescription dermals. I also learned that anything that is like an oil or greasy will trap the heat on your skin and make it itchier so keep that in mind. I don't know what your hives are from, but I definitely had a photo reaction to the sun. I learned it was called Hell's itch. I am also suspecting my immune system of overreacting to perceived threats, so perhaps one of the lupus forms. sharing in case that helps your situation.
