What is the cause of the itchy rash on the body during confinement?

Women's bodies are particularly weak after giving birth, so they need some time to rest and recuperate. This period of rest is called confinement. Many women will experience many adverse effects during the confinement period, such as red rashes and itching on the body, which is very easy to occur. This situation has a relatively large impact on the human body. The following is a detailed introduction to what causes red rashes and itching on the body during confinement.

The red rash and itching on the body during confinement are mostly caused by skin diseases such as papules. Here are some treatment methods:

1. Do not scratch with your hands. During the confinement period, if a mother develops a rash on her body, it will be very itchy. At this time, remember not to scratch it tightly with your hands, because once the rash area is damaged, it is likely to cause infection, and eventually cause the mother to have a fever. You can apply some cooling ointment around the rash, and it may heal within a few days.

2. Drink more water. Because the babies are in the breastfeeding period during the confinement period, even if the mother has a rash, she cannot be treated with medication or infusion therapy. At this time, she should drink more glasses of water, because water can effectively eliminate toxins in the body and inhibit the development of the disease.

3. Keep your body clean. If mothers suffer from the rash, they must keep their bodies clean to avoid infecting the baby. When gargling, add an appropriate amount of salt to the mouthwash, which has a good bactericidal effect. If your whole body is itchy, you can take a few more baths a day. After your skin is clean, apply anti-itching ointment. It is worth noting that if the rash grows on the head, it cannot be washed every day, because the mother’s resistance is very poor during the confinement period. Frequent washing of the head can easily cause the mother to catch a cold, which will eventually lead to more serious consequences.

4. Chinese medicine conditioning. If the condition is very serious and mothers are worried that the baby's development will be affected, they can alleviate the condition through some Chinese medicine conditioning. Because Chinese medicine has fewer side effects than Western medicine and infusion therapy, it can solve the problem fundamentally.

5. Get more sun exposure. Even if the baby does not have a rash, the mother should take the baby to sunbathe more often, because sunbathing can supplement the calcium needed by the body and kill bacteria on the body. For pregnant women suffering from rashes, insisting on getting one hour of sun exposure every day and drinking a certain amount of water can help the rash heal.

6. Keep the indoor air circulating. During the confinement period, the indoor air should be kept circulating to prevent a series of bacteria and viruses from staying in the bedroom. Clothes and quilts in the house should also be regularly placed in the sun to dry.
