My grandmother told me to apply simple coconut oil after bathing. It worked so well to soothe the dry, stretching skin.

Keep a small lotion bottle in your handbag for office. Dry AC air makes it worse, so moisturizing during the day is key.

I had intense itching in my second trimester! A cold compress and thick moisturizing cream really helped calm my skin down.

I am facing this exact issue right now, it is so annoying! Is it safe to use normal scented body lotions on breasts?

Ananya Sawant · Answer

Don't buy expensive creams, just use simple Vaseline or basic moisturizer twice a day. It is completely normal as your breasts prepare for milk.

Your skin is stretching and expanding, which causes itching. Just apply a mild moisturizer, but do mention it to your doctor if the itching gets very severe.
