How You Can Treat Itchy And Bumpy Stretch Marks

The appearance of red strakes and strips running across the belly is expected during pregnancy. You are perhaps concerned about your skin, but you are probably more worried about extreme itchiness that is becoming unmanageable day after day.

While you apply cruelty-free stretch mark cream to reduce inflammation due to pregnancy scars, rubbing any cream or lotion loaded with chemical ingredients is not an excellent idea. Instead, it would be best if you used Silicone Fusion™medical-grade patches that are pregnancy-safe.

Although pregnancy marks are not medically harmful, addressing your stretch marks as soon as they develop can provide you relief from the itch.

But why do stretch marks itch so much? Stretch marks appear when your skin stretches and causes tearing of the dermis. It occurs due to rapid growth of your belly—due to pregnancy or sudden weight gain—in a short amount of time.

Stretch marks initially appear pink and red before turning purple and finally white. They itch the most when fresh and still developing because of the thinner skin in the affected area. You may also feel early stretch marks slightly raised than the rest of the skin.

So what should you do to treat itchy and raised stretch marks? You can prevent pregnancy scars over your belly by using Silicone Fusion™patches to boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity to let it stretch without causing tearing as your baby grows inside you.

Medical-grade Silicone Fusion™patches are safe to use during pregnancy as they are free from chemicals that might be harmful to your baby. When applied over the affected areas, the patches promote a nurturing environment to rebuild moisture and maintain hydration for collagen production.

Using Rodan + Fields lotions for stretch marks is also an alternative, but they may or may not be beneficial in fading away pregnancy scars. The reason is topical creams only moisturize the upper layer of the skin. Medical-grade patches, on the other hand, create a microclimate and accumulate moisture through all the skin layers, improving the skin’s condition and relieving itchiness.

You will notice a decline in itchiness as your stretch marks fade over time after applying medical-grade patches. If there are rashes over your skin, apart from stretch marks, getting them checked by a professional is advisable.
