Just a question- my boobs have been super itchy the last 2 days. I have scratched so much that I now have "claw" marks all over them and they are still itchy. What can I do????

Lotion may help. They are just growing and stretching. Don't scratch! Hope that helps.

Mine too...I keep having to lean kinda under my desk so I can scratch them! Lotion helps, but it's still irritating.

One of my co-workers offered me cream but when she opened it to see if it was really scented it exploded up her nose- lol. It was so funny --it looked like her computer had an "accident" on her--lol

I use vitamin e... It helps go to your local pharmacy and they can direct you where it is.

Benadryl (over the counter) is supposedly safe in pregnancy and helps with all sorts of allergic reactions, including itching. Be warned though, that it makes you rather tired.

My boobs were really itchy too and then a friend told me to try cocoa butter which has vitamin e and is inexpensive. It has worked like a charm!! It also helps stop stretch marks. Hope that helps!!

U could also get vitamin e oil which is by the vitamins at the store.... It also helps heal cracks if u r ever prone to getting them on ur hands or feet.
