Itchy boobs and itchy body

Hi, I just want to put this out there to help other momma’s if they are having any issues.

My boobs were SO ITCHY!!! I’m about 5 months postpartum now but probably starting around 1 month, I noticed that I was just scratching my boobs all the time, to the point of bleeding and now scars.

I reached out to my doctors about it multiple times and they told me to take an allergy pill, didn’t help.

They prescribed me a pill specifically for thrush, helped a little but came back when I ran out of the pills.

Reached out to a friend who practices a more “Holistic” approach to things, and she suggested using apple cider vinegar on my boobs. Y’all, it worked like a charm. She used a cotton pad and rubbed her boobs with the apple cider vinegar, but I’m lazy so I put it in a spray bottle and every day after my shower I would just spray my boobs and let it air dry.

As for my body being itchy, I was scratching my legs and arms and everything to the point of bruising. I finally decided that I was going to stop taking my prenatal vitamins to see if that helps and just like that I stopped itching everywhere else. Then my husband Told me that he saw a post somewhere saying that all the extra vitamins that are in a prenatal vitamin are too much for our bodies to absorb and so it was trying to come out other ways and I just felt like that made sense. So, I stuck with it, and I haven’t been itchy since!

I hope this can help at least one momma! Happy parenting 🫶🏼
