Are you taking any pain killers right now? Some people get the itches when they are leaving your system.

No :(

My stomach will get this way. I found that if I keep it really 'oiled up' it seems to be better. I have been using Palmer's stretch mark oil (the stuff for scars and when you are pregnant) on my stomach and it seems to be helping. It breaks out my arms and back so I use just regular lotion.

I think Aveeno and Gold Bond has an anti-itch cream. This may help too.

I have experienced this too. I thought it had to do something with the fact that I take water aerobics in a salt water pool, but maybe this has something to do with it too?

If I go off my allergy meds - even just a few days - I am out of control itching - could it be that your not taking those?

I’m really going to have to find out from my pharmacist if I can pulverize those...I literally drive my self crazy scratching.

i Have itches all the time. My back especially. Need to take Benedryl almost every day. It is miserable.

My back is also very itchy. I was thinking it was dry skin because of winter and taking really hot showers. The skin on my thighs, tummy, ect doesn't itch but it is sure irritated around my stretch marks
