Sorry can't help with the rash, but congratulations on your new arrival. Maybe an appt with gp is needed. Hope all goes well, take care

Hi Ramada

Flares are common after childbirth so an appointment with your GP or Consultant might be a good idea to increase your drug treatment to help. Congratulations on the birth of your baby and hope you feel better soon. X
