Re: postpartum urticariaFrom: Ana (aocana58@yahoo.com)Thu Jan 8 11:56:13 2004
In fact, there is a contraindication to use OC (no mather if they are only progesterone or combinated) when you find this kind of pruritus. Please check also your bilirrubin's levels.

Thinking it might be a drug reaction, I discontinued my progesterone-only OC's - the rash has improved but still persists. I also have washed my clothes in Dreft - double-rinse with no fabric softener - without any improvement. The cold urticaria is also much worse than it has ever been, and is unresponsive to antihistamines. I assume that this pruritic rash and urticaria are related to postpartum hormone levels, but I was wondering if you have come across this phenomenon, and if so, how long you expect it to last. Could severe cold urticaria like this suggest a connective-tissue disorder,etc.? Yahoo! Hotjobs: Enter the "Signing Bonus" Sweepstakes
