2021-05-27 19:23:49
Hello I delivered via c section on 4th may and exclusively breast feeding my baby. Since 2 days I am having extreme itching in my belly thighs and legs. There are rashes and reddeness too... I applied calamity lotion. Kindly tell me why is it happening and what to do. My city is also having heavy rainfall since two days. Is it because of pollen or is it because of changing hormones

It's due to Fungus or yeast infection....common around skin folds like thighs and genitals.. avoid sweating, sharing clothes,towels and soap.. specific medicine required depends on the severity.. for detailed prescription do direct online consultation by sending photos.
