Try witch hazel. I didint know you couldn't itch. My tummy has gotten itchy and I've just been running my nails across and that helps me. Not quite itching. Don't know how to explain

I'm in the same boat right now 31w1d , I don't care about the stretch marks as I have them from my first two pregnancies , tiger stripes I like to call them ;-) , Anywho I have gone through 6 different lotions in the last 2 weeks an cannot find one that doesn't make me all red and itch more.. My skin actually hurts, I was also told to try rubbing alcohol but it actually burned cause I was so irritated , I'm going to try a lotion my dr prescribed. Good luck

There is really nothing you can do, I gave in an itched and rubbed and got stretch marks from it. Try your best not to touch it but if you must indulge do so minimally. You're almost there.
