How to get rid of itchy stretch marks during pregnancy?
My tummy stretch marks have started itching like crazy in this third trimester, sometimes i cant stop scratching. It's getting really irritating. What did u all use to ease the itching? need some relief tips.
My mother told me to use coconut oil daily and it really soothed the itch. I did it after bath every day. But she also said if itching is very intense, get it checked, because sometimes it needs a doctor look.
One gentle caution, if the itching becomes very severe especially on palms and soles, please tell your gynac. In my case it was a liver thing that needed monitoring. Normal belly itch is usually just dryness, but extreme itch deserves a check.
I felt so itchy on my belly in the last months, especially at night. A good moisturiser really helped calm it down for me. Those marks are kind of a memory now, I made peace with them.
Beta in our home we always used plain coconut oil or malai on the belly, gentle massage daily. It keeps the skin soft and the itching less. But if the itching is very severe all over, do mention to your doctor.
Keep the skin well moisturised, that is the main thing for the itch. Coconut oil or any thick cream works, apply twice a day. The marks may fade over time but the itch you can manage easily.
