SO itchy! Help!

in February 2011 Moms

If something doesn't change soon I will have scratched all the skin off my lower belly! It itches SO bad! I've been reading about PUPPs but since it's almost solely on my stretch marks I'm not sure if that's it or not. 

I have a doctor's appointment today and will definitely bring it up, but that's not for almost 6 hours and I don't think I'll have any skin left... any advice to tide me over?

    I apply cocoa butter twice a day and anytime in between if I'm feeling itchy. Hang in there - hopefully you won't be dealing with it too much longer. Wink

    I asked my doc last Thursday.  He said to pick up a couple of tubes of hydrocortisone cream.  I use about 1 tube every 3 days.  I also do the cocoa butter and have been doing that since the first tri.  The combination seems to work for the most part.

    He said I could also take an antihistamine pill, but I don't do that.  I try to keep the chemical intake to a minimum.

    I was super itchy during my labor and my dr gave me benadryl, it helped with the itching and helped me sleep through contractions. killed two birds with one pill :)

    Do you have any anti-itch lotion like Sarna or anything?  That stuff is amazing.  Otherwise, just keep moisturizing.  Hopefully your baby will be out soon and the itching will stop.
