What Causes Itching And Scratching During Pregnancy?
I had OC in pregnancy and have a 8 week old. My liver function test came back negative after birth. However I scratch my self red raw every day. It s worst in the evening. From my scalp all over. Then I tingle all over, my whole body will b covered in goosebumps, and I continue to itch and scratch. I m red raw every night. I have no idea what s causing it?

hi thanks for writing to us
liver function should be tested at 6 weeks for the diagnosis of obstetric cholestasis
itching can be due to skin diseases,liver disorders,allergies to various allergens, and many reasons
you may need a anti histaminic for the control of symptoms
medical consultation is mandatory
know that oc condition repeats in pregnancies and also runs in families
