Sorry if this is too much information but it's driving me crazy.....

Since giving birth to my ds 7 weeks ago, the skin below my belly and above my genitals itches like crazy.

There's no rash that I can see and I moisturise that area regularly with zerobase. Is it just the stretchmarks itching?!

I haven't shaved that area since as I don't want to make the itching worse with regrowth....

Help!!

Cocnut oil may help. Could be skin just shrinking back to normal. I remember intense itching took an antihistamine (and first glass of wine!) and nothing after!
Congratulations! Smile

I had exactly the same thing! Used a moisturiser called Relivio which I didn't think was helping but the itch stopped within a couple of days of using it.
