Raised and itchy stretch marks

I’ve developed a lot of stretch marks during this pregnancy (currently 38 weeks) but for the last week they have become really red, raised and so sore and itchy. My MW recommended using after sun but it doesn’t seem to help much. They’re so itchy it’s unbearable at times because I just want to scratch my entire stomach off! Trying to leave them be but it’s so sore.

Does anyone have any tips for calming / soothing the skin?
Not sure whether it’s worth booking a docs appointment to see if they can prescribe anything or if there are home remedies that can help?
