EXTREMELY itchy stretch marks!! Help!

[Shanti]

Thanks for warning me about Calamine lotion! I'm glad I didnt go out and buy any today. I just wanted to stay home and not leave the house. A rare rest day......

I'm still pretty itchy but it comes and goes throughout the day. I have Moo Goo moisturiser and tried that and that seems to help temporarily and having a warm bath helps.

I have Gaia baby oil should i try that? It's natural oils for babies. (no harsh chemicals)

Antheia - where do you get Pinetarsol from?? Never heard of it.

[Antheia]

Ren,you can get pinetarsol from the chemist. People use it for chickenpox sometimes. Like i said though it bloody stinks and is a fluro yellow colour.

Thanks mate, if it works i'll give it a go!! I'll just hold my nose
Might get some tomorrow.

No worries hun. Just giving fair warning

I also am blessed with heaps of stretchies, and a couple of weeks ago I had a bout of the unbearable itches, especially my bbs.

I went to see my naturopath and she gave me a mixture of almond kernel and avocado oil (and some other oils) which really helped.

It seemed to ease off after a few days of use.

Hope you find something that helps!

Ditto to Almond Oil!!!

Oooh! That sounds nice! Where do i get that from? Health food store?? Thx
My moogoo cream seems to help for a bit anyway....
