I Itch EVERYWHERE! - 11weeks pp

[aknqtpie]

Does anyone else itch constantly everywhere? I am 11 weeks pp.. this started about 8-9weeks pp. Nothing seems to help. Lotion, Cortison, Claritin.. the only thing I haven't tried is benedryl, because I hear it can dry up your supply.

I have a dr appt on friday for an additional follow up.. I plan on bringing it up to her there.. but wondering if this is hormone related or something else? I haven't changed soaps or anything.

It sounds like PUPPPs, although I haven't heard of it developing this late. Mine started 3 weeks before I delivered, took a break for a few days post partum, and then flared up again for about 8 weeks.

I found that Zyrtec worked better than Claritin. Also cold water - on the inside and the outside. No creams or lotions helped me at all.

I had PUPPPS at the end of my pregnancy.. I was wondering if it flared back up as well... Either that or maybe stress related? I give up though.. maybe I will try zyrtec.. any idea how it will affect my supply?

It eventually went away on it's own. I think it was hormone related. I asked my OB about it, and she suggested I use baby oil after I got out of the shower. That seemed to help a little bit.
