Old Stretch Marks Red and Itchy?

Wondering if anyone else having this issue. I have very old stretch marks on my hips left over from when I hit puberty back in 6th grade. They have been getting progressively itchier, painful, and the whole area is now seeming reddish (more like a rash than new stretch marks). I was going to call my midwife tomorrow, but is anyone dealing with this? I tried some coconut butter, but I think that's made it itch more and get worse, so that doesn't seem like the answer. 

I'm going crazy with the itchiness and trying not to scratch :(

  • in the past few weeks the area right around and above my belly button (which already has the beginnings of a lovely system of stretch marks again...) has grown increasingly itchy.  i just assume it's a combo of dry skin from the dry winter-ish air, plus stretching belly skin.
  • I got my stretch marks around 7 month I was using a lotion and baby oil at night I had a wired allergic reaction to the oil at 7 months I was not able to use nothing so I was itchi so my skin was dry I try not to scratch and I GOT THEM RED AND LARGE now I notice the are growing a little .
    USE LOTION AL DAY !!!
