Does scratching = stretch marks???? Posted: 04-17-08 10:04am
Or is this a myth? My belly has been
itching well not specifically my belly but
all my skin is dry and itchy. But now I am
starting to scatch. Well hubby has been
grilling me to not scratch my belly or my
boobs cause I will get stretch marks. he
is so funny!
But I have also heard this from lots of
different people. Is this true?

No, this is not true. It's your skin's
genetic makeup & elasticity that
determines whether you'll get stretchmarks
or not. Just because you itch your belly
doesn't mean stretchmarks will pop up
everywhere!
The itching could be a sign that you will
end up with stretchmarks, or it may just
be as simple as dry skin. Use lots of
lotion & you won't be so itchy!
use cocoa butter, that's what i put on my
stretchies

According to my belly, wherever it itched,
stretchies showed up. I LOADED up on cocoa
butter, and it still seemed like the area
was dry. Unfortunately, it all depends on
your skin and your genetic makeup, so good
luck!
