How To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks On The Shoulder And Arm?
I have scratch marks on my right shoulder and arm. I don t recall itching or scratching. My bra strap doesn t lay in the same spot to have caused it and I don t sleep with down pillows or comfortors. I ve felt a slight burning sensation along with tight feeling skin in the areas the past couple days but have not itched. Ive applied aquaphore. I m 8 months pregnant and thought it may be something to do with it but can t find any connections with the two online. I m starting to get concerned. Its starting to burn more and feel very itchy.

Hi. Stretch marks (striae) are common in pregnancy and weight gain. Striae may be seen on buttocks, thighs, shoulders, arms and breast apart from abdomen. There is nothing to panic about. You are 8 months pregnant and gonna deliver baby soon. Treatment for striae can wait. Right now, apply olive oil twice daily till delivery/ dermatological consultation. There are many treatment options for striae. Hope it helps
