My whole body itches!
Hi everyone, I gave birth on April 4th and last week my whole body started itching. The itchiness doesn’t stop and has gotten to the point where I can’t sleep. I saw my OB but he said it may be from hormone imbalance and to apply cortisone cream but nothing is helping😩. Has anyone experienced anything similar??

If you are producing milk then you can take a milk bath it helps with stuff like that. Also I gave birth on the 4th to congratulations 🩷🩷
This happened to me shortly after birth as well, I do believe it’s the hormones and sometimes people can have an allergic reaction to the hormones that make you lactate
i was SUPER itchy for 3 days after from the epidural. i have a slight allergy to anaesthesia. if you’ve never had any thing like it before it could be related
it’s the hormones but try a breastmilk bath if possible; if not, aveno oatmeal bath soak: Aveeno Soothing Bath Soak for Eczema, Natural Colloidal Oatmeal, 8 Ct. https://www.walmart.com/ip/10294061
I was so itchy after birth as well . I think for me it lasted 2 days after c section but I was told it was medication related
