Anybody else have itchy skin for months postpartum?

Afternoon all!

I had my baby three months ago and literally from the day after he was born until now, my skin has been weirdly itchy.

I never used to have this but now I'm constantly breaking out in hives on my arms, hands, feet, legs, face etc.

Has anybody else had this?

I haven't had an easy ride as a parent so far (my son has been in intensive care from birth) so there's not been much time to attend to myself so in all honesty, I know I won't find time to go to the GPS about this.

Has anybody else had this? Did you find out what was behind it? How best to treat it?

It's a minor thing but I thought it would've cleared up by itself by now.

OP congratulations on the birth of your DS and very best wishes as you navigate the rollercoaster of having a baby in NICU. I hope that you have some support.
Please do get the itchy skin checked out - possibly blood tests - as it may be related to your liver function.
