    S-T-R-E-T-C-H! *scratch* *scratch* *scratch*

    My tummy and boobs are soooooooooo damn itchy! I can feel all the skin stretching and it's driving me nuts!

    What do other women use on their bellies/boobs to stop the stretch itch? I have been using moogoo MSM cream because I'm getting spotty from the sweat in this heat but I think I need something more!

    Thanks in advance

    I had the same thing on my boobs. I got some cream with hydrcortisol in it from the Chemist (at GP's reccomendation) & it worked fabulously. I also changed to cotton bras asap which helped.

    I had the same thing too, particularly about the number of weeks you are. I started using bio-oil which helped to begin with and then I broke out in a rash which exacerbated the itch so I think my itch led to eczema. I went to the doctor and got an eczema cream which I still need to use. I switched from bio-oil to a more expensive organic belly rub which I got off the shop on BB. The organic cream has lessened the eczema and the itch, but I still need to use the eczema cream on a few little patches.

    Grab some Glycerin from the chemist, little brown glass bottle with a blue and white label.
    Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and stay hydrated and stop using anything that claims to "firm skin" is you are.
