postpartum rash?

Question

Hi, has anyone had trouble with a postpartum rash? Baby is 10 days old and this morning I woke up with an itchy rash on my elbows, hands, and ankles. My doc thinks it's from the ibuprofen I was on, so I've stopped taking it. Hopefully it will be out of my system soon! Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this!!

Answer

I've had a terrible rash. My doctor gave me steroid cream to battle the itching but it's not much better.

Answer

I was just about to post about this. I've been breaking out in hives for the past few days. They seem to flare up when I'm breastfeeding. They seem to be getting worse. Before they were just red blotches, but now they seem to be raising when they flare up.

Answer

Never experienced this but today my body is going thru something I've never went thru before!! Literally everything is aching and hurting... 19 days pp... ughhhh
