Itchy tummy - why??

[empen]

Why does my skin on my tummy, boobs, back and flanks itch so much and how can I make it stop. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS

Cos it's str--eeeettttcccchhhh-iii-nnnn-gggg!!!!!

Moisturizing helps. Cocoa butter one from body shop is lovely, and smells of chocolate

Rub some cream or oil into it. That will help. I got that sometimes on my tummy too!

seriously - it cannot be stretching anymore i am already the size of a double decker - The bus driver shouted at me across the road the other day cause my bump is so huge!!!
I have soaked myself in Bio-oil (love the stuff) I will go and cover myself in cocoa butter too and hope that helps.
My stretchmarks have got stretchmarks!

The stretching causes pressure on your circulatory system - sends blood surging to the surface - similiar to when you have a scab thats almost healed and ready to drop off.

Also, if you have literally soaked yourself in Bio-oil it could very well be that that is making the itching worse as oil clogs the pores (which causes irritation) and flattens the tiny hairs against your skin, tickling the surface
