I have seen lots of mothers break out in hives after birth. Most of the time the
rash is located on the arms - sometimes on the legs. I have asked a number of
doctors about this; there are different opinions. Some think it is due to hormones.
Others think it is due to stress (psychological factors.) I know one woman who
breaks out every month before her period. Aloe Vera creams are soothing. Bach has
a soothing ointment for skin irritations as well. Don't know if it is available in
the States.
