Hello doctor! A year ago I was pregnant and had gestational cholestasis, itching during pregnancy. I researched on the internet, usually after giving birth, the baby will recover. But now he is more than 1 year old, but his itch has not changed and his skin is more rough. Due to the Covid-19 situation, I could not go to the hospital for examination. So can the doctor advise you to help me with cholestasis of pregnancy causing long-lasting itching and roughness, is it serious? Thank you doctor.

Hello. With symptoms of pregnancy cholestasis causing itching and prolonged roughness, the best way is to go to a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals under the Vinmec Health System nationwide to check blood bilirubin, enzymes. liver, ALP, hepatobiliary ultrasound... and some more necessary subclinical indications. Depending on the situation at that time, the doctor will advise and treat the skin condition that is raised and itchy.
