After giving birth my body breaks out in a rash, what causes this?!
Question: After giving birth my body breaks out in a rash, what causes this?
I've had three kids and each time within the first month of giving birth my body breaks out in a rash. I had all natural births with all of them so it's not from an epidural or something. I'm going to the doctor next week, just curious for answers until then.
Answers:
Sounds like it could be psoriasis. Psoriasis is caused by stress, giving birth and having a newborn around is stressful which explains the outbreak.
Every one is different...you need to talk to your doctor or a dermatologist about this.
This is the internet...and not a good place for medical advice. We aren't trained to see your medical files, do an exam, run tests, etc.
Probably due to hormone changes that take place after birth.
