As we all know, breastfeeding is one of the stages that pregnant mothers pay great attention to. If you get breastfeeding urticaria during this period, it will not only cause great physical discomfort and mental confusion to mothers, but also aggravate the psychological fear of the mother. She may be afraid to breastfeed the baby normally, affecting the baby's development and health. Urticaria happens to be seriously affected by psychological barriers, so it will cause polarization and difficult to cure. So, how can you get urticaria during breastfeeding? What should you do if you get urticaria during breastfeeding?

Because breastfeeding is a critical stage for pregnant mothers to feed their babies, the supply of nutrients is very important. The nutrients in the food digested by the pregnant mother are provided to the baby. As a result, the nutritional elements of the pregnant mother herself cannot keep up with the demand during this stage, her own immunity will be reduced, and her disease resistance will be weakened. The attack of some external allergens will easily cause skin allergies, which will lead to the occurrence of urticaria during breastfeeding.

If you have urticaria during breastfeeding, you need to take immediate measures to actively treat it: first of all, be careful not to scratch it hard, because if you scratch it hard, the elasticity of the skin at the allergic area will increase and it will be easy to scratch. Human fingernails are also places where dirt hides. The scratched skin is more likely to be infected by bacteria, which will aggravate the condition; secondly, do not take a hot bath, because when the skin comes into contact with hot water, it will cause a sudden increase in skin temperature and increased blood circulation, which will increase the area of ​​allergens spreading outward with the increase in temperature, making the allergy more serious. In addition, when the skin is severely itchy, you can apply some anti-itching medicine to relieve the symptoms.

In short, urticaria during breastfeeding is a skin disease that occurs during a relatively special period. When the disease occurs at this stage, the patient will be more at a loss, and the pressure and fear will increase relatively. This kind of repeated mental state will aggravate the symptoms of urticaria. Therefore, at this time, the patient must keep a clear mind and a positive attitude, actively do a good job of prevention, and adjust the diet structure scientifically and systematically, believing that urticaria will heal quickly and give herself and her child a healthy body.
