Postpartum hives?

Did anyone have postpartum hives/PUPPPS? My chest, neck, back, and shoulders are so itchy! Is there anything I can do for it? I heard benadryl isn't safe for breastfeeding.

  • I would take benedryl to help. I've never heard that it isn't safe while bfing, though I have heard it can lower your supply if taken for a long time. But you are miserable! I hope you find relief soon. :(

  • Benadryl is safe, but will dry you up. 

    You can try a topical hydrocortisone cream! GL!

  • DD is 20 months old and I'm pregnant again but still dealing with the hives.

    On my f15 bmb numerous people have suggested grandpas pine tar soap. People seemed to really find it helpful.
