My stretch marks are itchy... HELP!

[FelixMom]

Title says it all. The stretch marks were not bothering me at all during pregnancy. I had PUPPPS to entertain me then

Has this happened to anybody else? The stretch marks irritate me right by the bikini line and it is sweaty too. We are in the middle of winter here, and I can't really run around in a dress indoors when it's -14C outside...:

Any helpful advice is most appreciated.

Amy--itchy, scratchy and sleep-deprived...

mine got really itchy too after I gave birth. I used a lot of lotion.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! I use coconut oil and that really seems to do the trick. I have pretty dry skin in general and love coconut oil. I apply it right after a shower and whenever I feel dry. If I forget, the stretch marks itch.

oh, bleah! this is happening to me a little bit too...our baby got quite a massage yesterday as i frantically scratched at my stomach. i echo the PPs. just rub moisturizing stuff into them and hope for the best hope they give you some relief soon!

Yikes, that sounds uncomfortable! I'm not sure if this will help or not but I used to get severe poison ivy as a kid and found a warm (not hot) bath with Aveno helped. Something about the oatmeal that soothed the itch. Be sure to moisturize after you get out too!

Good Luck!
