Itch on hands and feet after delivery

[Mum2Romone]

itchy hands and feet are the first signs of Liver failure.

Sorry to freak you out , but call the hospital, the labour ward and explain that and any other symptoms you feel, but think arent that bad....

I got the PUPPS rash in the days after DD was born. I didn't even know it was possible. I'd probably get it checked out though.

Liver failure? I have no other symptoms.

I've been reading up and thinking it is most likely PUPPS except that it is post pregnancy which I don't know if it is possible. Will monitor it. Looks like it has subsided a little.

Thanks all for your replies

Could it just be eczema? I got it on my hands and feet while pregnant but I don't know why? Just hormones maybe...
You're still very hormonal after birth. What does your skin look like? Do you have a rash?

I got hives on my hands that didnt ease off till i took antihistamine. They were so itchy and sore.

Dunno what caused them but thats what fixed it

A week after i got home from hospital after having DS, I had itchy hands and feet. It was a topical fungi I picked up from the one time I ran to the toilet without shoes on. Then i scratched my feet and got it on my hands.

If you haven't already. Go see your dr, they will be able to identify it and treat it.
