I am now 3 weeks post partum and STILL suffering :( When did your itching stop??

And did anything help? Absolutely nothing I've tried has had any effect and I'm going out of my mind!

I had this with first DC. It last for four weeks post partum. I did get steroid cream from GP to helP as mine covered most of my body Inc arms and legs.

So sorry for you!!! It's hideous and misery. As you are 3 weeks pp it should go soon. Other than steroid cream, calamine lotion, cold wet flannel to very gentle rub with and piriton.
