How To Treat Itchy Rashes All Over Body After Delivery?
I had a baby 7 weeks ago and have had an extremely itchy rash all over my body since week 3. I'm told it's caused by the hormone prolactin. Any diet changes recommended or how can it be treated? I have been using an anti-itch cream to aide w/ the itching, and I've taken Zyrtec for the last week, but it isn't helping. Suggestions?

Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to prolactin hormone. I suggest you to take antihistamines daily to relieve the itching. You can also use Calmine lotion for local relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
