Has anyone else struggle with this?

After I went home from giving birth I had a rash all over my body and I'm pretty sure it's not allergies but I've tried benadryl and hydrocortisone and stuff and it won't go away. What should I do?

Hmm.. Your obgyn would be the best person to guide you through this

I had a rash that was so itchy it went around my whole mid section. Did you have a epidural? I had one and it was a side effect from it. I had to use calamine lotion for it.

I had the epidural before

Yes, it slowly spread (stomach, legs, arms) and was extremely itchy. I went to urgent care and the doctor explained it was some type of postpartum rash and gave me a topical cream. I think it was due to hormones, can’t really remember but it cleared up 3 weeks later.
