Dry Itchy Skin on face 2 weeks after birth-HELP PLEASE

[pintofmilk]

Hi Ladies,

So lovely DS was born 2 weeks ago and sadly the lovely 'glow' I had has gone.

After a shower I am left with a really hot red rash on my face. My skin has gone all flakey/itchy/sore. What can I do??

I only have a warm, not hot, shower.
I don't wear makeup.
I only use one face cream which for years has caused no problems and now it feels like I have put acid on my face.

I know this will probably pass but it is driving me insane. Anything I can eat/put on my face to sooth it?

Thanks in advance

I would go yo the Dr when you can, or maybe mention it at you're 6 week check up, but in the meantime have you tried coconut oil? Works wonders on my kids eczema and I've started using it as a moisturiser myself now
