Hi Padma,
It might be due to streching of the skin.

Use some cooling lotions.

Take care,
Punitha

Dear Padma,
Applying liquid paraffin thoroughly does help a lot, if there is itching.
Believe me, I had the same itching problem, when I was carrying my daughter.
It is nuisansical, but please do not worry about the same. Be careful not to scratch because this is caused by stretching of the skin. Marks may be left later.
All the best.
Love,
Chithra.

hi Puni, Chitraji,

thanks for the early reponse now i will not scratch already scratched too much.

Hi padma,

It is not very unusual though some ladies get them. Apply pure calamine lotion,there will be lot of relief and also improvement.

good luck take care

hi padma i m facing the same problem from 3-4 month. now a days i feel much better.actually i had hies also (means whenever masquitos bites us we will get them.they are called hies and bulges i think)earlier i applied coconut oil for that itching that will give some raleaf then they used come another place.head nusce suggested me to take benadril pills.they couldn't give solution.they suppressed temporaryly.then i got appoint form doctor she gave some other medicine now i feel better. they will come rearly.but u shoud use
moistureized soaps to u r body that will helps great.

Hi,

HI friends,
if u r looking for itching after insect bites...tea-tree oil (a few drops diluted in coconut oil)..if others..sandalwood oil is very cooling..also gives gud fragrance
If u r interested in recipe with essential oils send me a post..
for pregnancy/stretch marks wheat germ oil as base oil+some other oils very gud..in India essential oils r not very expensive..any body interested in recipes?

hello


itch itch and scratch
that sure is common
try applying kasthuri turmeric
and til oil or other oil
over abdomen
after ten or fifteen minutes
wash with besan
suggest you avoid soap
for bathing
why not try besan ?
if you use turmeric with oil
and wash with besan
there is no trace of stretch marks
after delivery....
but wonder if you can get
what i say in the place you live
try sticking closer to nature
take salads, kootu and greens
avoid oils...no fried
take more vegetable soups
avoid refrigerated items
take fresh fruits and vegetables
whatever in season
not preserved or stored..

my best wishes for a
happy go lucky kid...!
