Hi Judy,

I think this is in our archives, perhaps use the word "histamine" in your
search. We've seen this before, I think it is a histamine release and the
mother may be helped by taking antihistamine med, preferably a non-sedating
one. She may have to take this daily for a time.
I also think of her reaction almost like a "heat rash" even though I know
you said there is no rash. Maybe a light breeze via a small fan would
help???? Just brainstorming for a non-drug intervention.
