PUPPP started at 37 weeks of my pregnanc
Hi Doctor,
My stretch marks are itching a lot and it started in my 37 weeks. Currently I am in my 39 weeks. But at night during the sleep it becomes very uncontrollable, itches a lot. I am applying moisturizer, oils and also tried using cold water but nothing is helping out. Just gynaecologist asked me to keep it moisturized but day by day it's getting worst. He did some blood test and told everything is normal.
Could someone please help is there any way to ease the itching.. Everywhere I read it goes on it's own after a week or two post delivery but till that what can I do ?

Normal liver function report then nothing to worry about
You keep the area moisturized and apply lactocalamine lotion twice daily.
Antihistamine could also be taken for a day or two to reduce itching
