My stretchmarks have become really itchy. It seems like a rash is forming. Any advice?

    Have you tried applying lotion on a regular basis? It has helped me tremendously.

    mine are crazy itchy too ... its the way baby is sitting, I think.

    Try cream or cold compresses ... keep your waistband and clothes off your belly as much as possible. Oatmeal baths (or a bath with baking soda) seems to help a bit (and then SLATHER yourself in cream afterwards!)

    Mine was really itchy when the stretch marks first appeared. Lotion helped some.

    It sounds like PUPPS. ?It starts in your stretch marks. ?Go to a dermotologist. ?Best decision I ever made!
