Q: Itching So Bad!

Hey guys, does anybody....Anybody have a remedy for itchy skin? I'm in my third trimester and my hormones are killing me. I've been itching on my neck, armpits, tummy...Name it! My doc told me to use aveeno and sarna to relieve the itch but it doesn't help that much. Have anymore suggestions? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Yeah, I tried that too...The one specialized for preggy women. Though a friend of mine told me to use the regular ones ( palmers regular coco butter). Are they better? If yes, i'd go out now and get it.

Hahaha I didn't have any stretch marks till after trey was born.

To the orig poster, first make sure you don't have pupp, cause you need heavier anti-itching stuff for that. Secondly my doc gave me tons of aveeno stuff for the bath and I went an dgot the cream. It was the only thing that worked for me. And if you think your itchy now, wait till the epidural starts wearing off. I bled I scratched so hard!

Really? So does it do more harm than good?

everyone told me not to itch as it causes stretch marks. My doc told me just not to scratch, no reason, just not to do it. Lol

did u try the aveeno bath stuff or just the cream?? The bath stuff was what worked for me. If not you might need a stronger cortison cream.
