Stretch Marks, Rash and Itchiness
How can I prevent stretch marks on my body
Many doctors believe that there is nothing
you can do to prevent stretch marks. No matter what the anti-stretch mark cream
makers tell you or how much cream you apply. Other medical practitioners believe
that you may be able to reduce the chance of stretch marks if your skin is supple and
well-toned. Some say that lightly stretching your skin between your thumb and finger
and then applying the cream may help in keeping the skin supple.
I am breaking out in rash. Help!
These eruptions are known as PUPPP
(Pruritic Urticarial Papules & Plaques of Pregnancy), a condition which appears in the
first pregnancy and disappears after delivery, never to appear again. It may also arise in
the form of stretch marks on the thighs, arms & buttocks. An antihistamine,
carticosteroid or topical medication might help.
I have a terrible itch on my abdomen
As your skin is in the process of
stretching, this is only normal. As this continues, your skin will feel dry and itchy. You
can try an anti-itching lotion for relief.
