I have itching 12 days postpartum?

27-year-old woman2 years ago

Hello, I am 12 days postpartum, I had a 2nd degree tear that seems to be healing well I don't see any stitches. For the last 2-3 days I've had itching in my vulva. Is this normal and what can I do to reduce the itching?

Good morning, Madam,

For the moment, just monitor the situation, do not apply detergent or soap, only clear water for hygiene

If the situation persists, you will have to consult a doctor, if only as a precaution, considering the recent birth.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
