Extremely itchy stretch marks

in October 2013 Moms
I had no stretch marks until a few weeks ago - around the time she dropped. Now they are super out of control and insanely itchy especially right above my pubic bone and below my belly button. I am using 3 different types of creams including mustella, honey butter and st Ives lotion and nothing is helping the itch. I literally couldn't sleep last night because of it.

Does anyone have any tips that helped them with this problem? I'm getting desperate and I know scratching wont help them go away down the road.

    Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter right after the bath might help. Also, try some aloe vera.

    I resorted to calamine lotion and solercane spray at one point. The aveeno lotion seemed to help.

    I've been using coconut oil and Aveeno shower & bath oil! They seem to help a ton, but sometimes I'm still itchy.....I'll put a little extra virgin olive oil on my belly! Sounds weird, but it helps! I've noticed that hot showers make it worse. I hope you find some relief.

    I use Sarna lotion and Aveeno overnight cream and it helps. Hope you get some relief.
