That was "calomine lotion". Not camomile. Sorry!

Don't know if this will be of any help, but a
friend of mine who suffers wwith cholestasis in pregnancy swears by a
dilute "brew" of carb soda to bathe the area with, also using mylanta
dabbed on the area, or even making up some camomile tea, and using this to
bathe the area. good luck, Pauline

Hello All
I have a friend who
had a bub on Saturday and since she was in labour on Friday she has had
a severe heat type looking rash (GP/Ob) says it’s pregnancy something or
other and did not offer much in the way of remedy. It is very red
and raised and itchy like hell, also the heat affects it (and we live in
Nthrn NSW!) she has large patches over abdo/ top of legs
etc.
Antihistamines are out of the question with breastfeeding I
believe, the babe is feeding beautifully so it would be great to help
with the rash so Mum does not consider giving up BF. She is
currently bathing in an oatmeal product and applying a soothing cream
with oatmeal in it.
Any super remedies??
Thanks a
bunch
Justine
