There is a reason for this situation, and the itching can be relieved, but you must pay attention to targeted treatment and relief.

In addition, after giving birth, use a towel to rub the abdomen and legs when taking a bath, then apply warm milk on the belly and rub it from the inside to the outside with both hands. Finally, apply slimming and firming cream to tighten the skin and promote skin metabolism.
