My tummy and legs are itching more at night, especially after bath. There is no rash but it is irritating and making me scratch a lot. Is this just skin stretching or should I ask doc?
Mild itching from stretching skin is common, but I want to say this, if itching is on palms and soles and gets bad, please tell ur gynac. I had that and they checked my liver, turned out to need monitoring. Better to flag it.
My belly itched so much as it grew, I felt like scratching all the time. Doc said keep it moisturised and dont scratch hard. Once I started oiling regularly it became way more bearable.
Mostly its the skin stretching and dryness, esp on the belly. Coconut oil or a good moisturiser twice a day really helped my itchy tummy. But if its severe or all over, dont self treat, get it checked.
Normal itching is the skin expanding and getting dry, super common. Keep skin moisturised, wear loose cotton, dont take very hot showers. Only the strong palm and sole itching needs a doctor check, that one dont ignore.
