5 weeks postpartum, extremely itchy skin since delivery. my sister had a c-section on 15 january 2016. medicine, lotion nothing is working.

Unclear: It is unclear if you are itching or if you are referring to your sister having itching after a c section. 5 weeks after delivery the effects of pregnancy should be resolving. I would schedule a visit with a dermatologist and have them evaluate your skin to determine the cause and treatment.
