Yes, hormonal changes make skin dry and itchy. Apply plenty of moisturizer, it helps.

I feel your pain, rashes aur itching bohot hi irritating aur sleepless nights dene wale hote hain. Aap bilkul akele nahi ho isme, organic aloe vera ya coconut oil try kijiye comfort ke liye, take care.

Yaar skin literally dry ho jati hai hormones ki wajah se, so actually itching bohot common hai. Bas heavy chemicals wali cream mat lagana ghar pe, simple mustard oil ya soothing lotion is best.

Dekho choti, skin stretch hoti hai aur hormones change hote hain toh khujli hona natural hai. Soap badalke koi mild glycerin wala use karo aur skin ko scratch mat karna nahi toh scars reh jayenge.

Agreed, simple cold virgin coconut oil was a lifesaver for my early pregnancy skin itching.

Mujhe bhi first trimester me skin dry hoke kafi itch hoti thi, especially breast area me. Maine bas heavy moisturizers lagaye aur dhoop me jana avoid kiya, par exact cause toh doctor hi bata payenge.

Itching se sachme bohot discomfort hota hai aur dimaag me negative thoughts aane lagte hain. It is totally fine to feel anxious, but high chances hain ye bas dry skin hai. Calm raho aur cold water compress try karo.

Oh god, mujhe jab itching shuru hui toh mujhe laga koi bada disease toh nahi ho gaya! Maine doctor se confirm kiya toh bole normal hormonal change hai, but agar palms pe itching ho toh immediate report karna, please safety check kar lo.

Arey mere toh pure badan pe aisi khujli hoti thi jaise koi jungli bandar ho! Husband ko bolti thi skin pe scratch karne ko. Mast cold moisturizing lotion lagaya karo aur khud ko chill rakho.

Severe itching ko ignore mat karna, because sometimes high itching liver parameters up-down hone ki wajah se hoti hai. Safe side rehne ke liye next gynac appointment pe blood tests ke baare me jarur discuss karna.

Manjusha Unni · Answer

Itching se distract hone ke liye main toh humesha thanda tarbooz ya ice cream khati thi, skin stretch pe natural moisturiser lagake! Thoda thanda pani piyo aur stress free raho.

Mera C-section delivery hua tha but pregnancy ke starting me stomach aur arms pe bohot itching hoti thi. Maine simple organic coconut oil lagaya aur tight kapde chhod diye, isse kafi relief mila tha recovery ke dauran bhi.
