How to solve the itching after giving birth

Every woman has to become a mother, but some women will experience itching symptoms after giving birth. What is the reason for itching after giving birth? How to solve the itching after giving birth? This is an issue that needs attention, so let’s simply learn the following knowledge and see how to solve it.

1. When taking a bath, you should choose a mild, preferably slightly acidic shower gel, and avoid using alkaline soaps with too strong cleaning power, because even the most neutral shower gel is alkaline relative to human skin. You should also avoid bathing in water that is too hot. It is best to use water that is similar to body temperature (no more than 40 degrees).

Also, you should reduce the frequency of bathing and shorten the bathing time to avoid excessive loss of water and fat due to heat. Do not scrub hard when taking a bath, because overheated water and vigorous scrubbing will wash away the skin's sebum, keratin and other protective layers, which can easily damage the skin and even cause local inflammation of the skin, making the nerves more excited and aggravating the itching.

2. After taking a shower, apply moisturizing body lotion immediately before the skin is completely dry, especially to particularly dry areas such as the limbs. This can help the skin restore its water and oil balance and form a thin film on the skin to prevent moisture evaporation. In addition, because the pores are still slightly open when you just take a shower, skin care products are easier to absorb and penetrate. After applying skin care lotion, you should put on clothes and socks as soon as possible. This will not only keep you warm but also prevent the epidermis from losing moisture and sebum, helping to enhance the effect of improving dry skin conditions. After the skin is effectively moisturized, dryness and itching can be effectively reduced.

If you feel your skin is dry, you should use lotion at any time to moisturize the dry skin in time, especially the calves and arms. The front part of the calf is the part with the least sebaceous glands in the whole body, so it is most prone to itching and dandruff. The arms are often exposed to the air and are also most prone to dryness.

The above is some basic knowledge about solving itching after giving birth. I believe you will understand it after reading it. You should pay attention to keeping clothes and bedding clean and hygienic, and develop good living habits. You can also buy some mild and non-irritating body lotions for better results.
