I Have Itchy Feeling All Over My Body Inspite Of Being Pregnant
Hello.... I'm 31 weeks pregnant && I'm extremely itchy.... Everywhere. Honestly my stretching tummy is the least itchy. Like my back && um.... My butt. Just anywhere u can think. I use this olay Shea butter n vitamin lotion to help but it really doesn't. Is this normal? :/
Hi, Thanks for the query. Some amount of itching is common during pregnancy. This occurs due to stretching of collagen fibers. This leads decreased moisture and itching. For more details: http://srsree.blogspot.com/2012/05/itching-over-abdomen-in-pregnancy.html Usually creams containing alovera with vitamin E will help in relieving the symptoms. Avoid scratching, hot water bath and harsh soaps. Prefer warm water and mild soaps. If itching persists once check for liver function tests. If everything is normal, no need to worry. Take care.
