Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Stretch marks are often the result of the rapid stretching of the skin associated with rapid growth or rapid weight changes, which over time may diminish, but will not disappear completely.
Various treatments are available for the purpose of improving the appearance of existing stretch marks, including laser treatments, dermabrasion, and various creams.Some cream manufacturers claim the best results are achieved on recent stretch marks; however, few studies exist to support these claims.
These stretch marks do not cause any disturbance in body functioning.
But still, for skin softening & some percent of relief ; your wife can apply stretchnil cream as previously applied.
I hope your query has been answered. I will be available for your further queries.
Regards,
Dr.Monika

Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
Daily use of Dettol (that is a strong disinfectant) can cause dryness of skin that is responsible for itching.
I will advise you to use Dettol on alternate day & application of lactocalamine lotion after taking bath along with Stretchnil cream.
I hope your query has been answered.
