Sore Stretchmarks

[x-amy-x]

I don't know if it's just me but since having Caitlyn, my stretch marks have become so itchy and sore. It takes all of my willpower to not scratch the hell out of my stomach.

Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried bio-oil, savlon and cocoa butter and nothing seems to stop the itching. Did anything soothe yours?

Thanks

Mine weren't that itchy, but I used bio oil to soothe mine. Since you've tried that I wouldn't know what to suggest! Might be time to pop down to your doctor - he may prescribe you something like "Aqueous cream" to hyrdrate the skin and soothe the itching - I don't think you can get that over the counter.

Hope your itching eases up soon x

Do you have anything like this in the UK? This has an anti itch medicine in it and a little camphor which also helps with itching.

i had this and ended up with scabs (tmi) all across my belly i used E45 cream or son's eczema cream (diprobase). If you do need to scratch try to rub instead, if your still seeing the midwife ask her or you HV. Hope it stops soon x x

i had this as well and actually now and then they still get itchy and drive me mad !!!

I just use vasaline moisturiser it cools and and seems to stop the itchy sensation

You can get Aqueous overthe counter. i used to get it for my excema. But as you're getting free prescriptions Id go to your GP

Mine were really itchy when I was pregnant but not so much now. Sudocream works wonders for all other kinds of itchyness so might be worth a try?
