She is probably suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be symptomatically treated with antihistamines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months. Please call me or contact me through online consult option for further details and treatment. ,

Greetings,mostly she may suffer from postpartum hives. Women tend to suffer hives at different time spans after the delivery. Postpartum hives typically occur on the arms, feet, and the back.Hormonal changes in the body and stress are some of the most prominent causes of postpartum hives in women.,but we may have to rule out the exact cause because hives after delivery can occur due to even following reasons such as stress,hormonal changes,due to some drugs,due to extreme cold or heat and due to some food. There is no point in giving non specific treatment without finding the exact cause.Kindly share few clear pics of affected area and you may can consult me through online or via Clinic. Regards Dr Shuhaib MP(Pune)
