Itchy stretchmarks

[mzz_ali]

How do I stop my stretchmarks itching!!?? Im 12+6 and have them on my hips, belly and boobs and the itching is driving me nuts. I cant afford Bio Oil/Vitamin E Oil or Cocoa Butter as my partner was in a car crash last week and every spare cent is being saved for a new car and a bigger flat for us and baby!

My sister used pure olive oil. It prevented her from having stretch marks and stopped all the itch. Try that, it may work for you. Im using bio oil and palmers cocoa butter but will try the olive oil later.

Yeah the cocoa butter was great til I ran out of the sample tube and ran out of my aloe vera lotion...now good moisturiser is a luxury we cant afford. :(

Baby oil has helped me and coco butter lotion has helped also I heard oatmeal alsobis good to stop the itching like taking an oatmeal bath I haven't tried it yet tho.

Make sure you drink lots of water to hydrate your skin from the inside out... and try not to itch them if anything just gently run your fingers across them like you're itching. but dont. Use so much pressure

Aveeno lotion works also

I sent my husband out for some bio-oil and it was $30! Try eBay. I just purchased some for $10. My belly has been burning! I hope everyone feels better soon!

Yeah thankfully the other car hit the front of ours, about 6in away from the drivers door.....he walked away with a concussion and some cuts! Ill try ice :) I moisturise every day but still soooo itchy. Coz Im in NZ we have summer coming up and Im due in March...Jan/Feb is our hottest months so hopefully the itching will stop before then otherwise dunno how Ill cope!!

Ice can temporarily relieve the itch. Also, if you have any, hydrocortisone cream. The big thing is going to be keeping your skin hydrated. That will help you prevent more stretch marks. I've also heard some say that you can make a "mask" out of mayonnaise and apply this to help the ones you already have. Hope this helps.
Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope your partner is ok.
