    I just in the last few days got a few stretch marks in the same spot.  Gah.  Mine don't itch though.  Did you try lotion?

    Yeah, I've been slathering my belly in lotion. It definitely helps but it still itches.

    Mine did at first. But it was only for like 3 days and it got better. I would just slather it in lotion like 4 times a day. Also, palmers has a dry itchy skin vitamin E oil that I liked.

    my stretch marks started out just like yours. one little one in the front on the right side then they were EVERYwhere. and yes, iteched like crazy for several days. use lots and lots of lotion!! and someone told me it means your belly is growing.

    Ugh what I thought were just itchy stretch marks around my belly button turned into full on PUPPS this week... I'm COVERED in super itchy red bumps, and totally miserable.  I hope yours is just from the stretch marks cause this is no fun.  Crying

    Mine iched too...Palmer's concentrated stretch mark cream works great with the itch...so does plain Vitamin E...you can squeeze the vit e out on to your stretch marks and rub it in.
