Itchy belly/skin stretching

lilnvs

My belly is SO itchy I can't stand it.  I realize it is from all of the stretching of my skin.  I use lotion all day long but nothing seems to help.  Anyone use anything that helped?  Thanks!

I am sorry that was a horrible feeling.  I just used lots of lotion a couple time a day but it was still itchy.

Cocoa butter cream/lotion helped my itching... but you need to let it completely absorb before putting on a hirt otherwise the itching was worse.

 

I hope it goes away soon.

I'm using JASON organic cocoa butter lotion - I think it helps b/c it's so thick.  Sometimes I put baby oil on my stomach before drying of from the shower, and then use the lotion.  The only other thing I can think of is maybe aloe would help - I think JASON also makes an aloe vera lotion.  Can't hurt!

Sorry to hear. I feel your pain! But just as a heads up, it seems to get super itchy in spurts--hope you find relief soon!! I found putting lotion on straight out of the shower helped the most; I use a variety of lotions that seem to give adequate relef--Palmer's cocoa butter stretch mark cream, Bella Mama cream (the BEST scent and very hydrating!!) and Mama Mio ultra hydrating cream. I apply them several times as needed throughout the day.

GL and hopefully yours will go away soon!!
