What Causes Severe Itching On Skin On An Infant?

I am a new mother my daughter is almost 4 months old and within the last couple months my skin has been itchy all over to the point where i want to scratch it off! My PCP didn t even look at my skin and said it is because of elevated estrogen levels could it be something else?

HI...it could any sort of allergy or as your PCP told it could be due to the hormones.

But...Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
