Stretch mark itching

Pregnant women will develop stretch marks after giving birth, which will make many mothers feel very distressed. Stretch marks will not only make the skin ugly, but also cause itching. The reason for itching is mainly because it has not been completely recovered. At this time, you can use salt water or vinegar to reduce inflammation, which has the effect of relieving itching and killing bacteria. In addition, you should also pay attention to skin cleanliness. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Stretch mark itching

1. Scrub the itchy stretch marks with salt water or vinegar

Principle: Vinegar and salt both have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and the acidic substances and aldehyde compounds contained in vinegar can dilate capillaries, stimulate the skin, and can effectively relieve the skin itching caused by stretch marks.

Method: Every night before going to bed, you can use a basin filled with half water, then add an appropriate amount of salt or rice vinegar, heat it until the salt dissolves, and use a towel dipped in water to wash the affected area. You will see results. If the disease recurs, continue to scrub it.

2. Rinse the stretch marks with alternating hot and cold water

Every time you take a shower, use alternating hot and cold water to rinse the area with stretch marks. Cold water can enhance the nutrition of the skin and promote sebum secretion, making the skin appear white, smooth and elastic. Hot water can promote local blood circulation and relieve itching symptoms.

Note: When using hot water, the water temperature should be between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius, slightly higher than body temperature, but not too hot.

Precautions for stretch marks

1. Stay away from sweets and fried foods: During pregnancy, you should avoid consuming too much sweets and fried foods. You should consume a balanced diet to improve your skin texture and help your skin appear more elastic.

2. Change your posture as much as possible during pregnancy. Do not lie, stand or sit for a long time. Especially for working mothers, stand up and walk around every hour to avoid the premature appearance of stretch marks.

3. Use higher purity olive oil to apply on your body. Some expectant mothers can also reduce the occurrence of stretch marks to a certain extent by using this method;

4. Use professional stretch mark removal products. This will be the most effective way to reduce stretch marks. Expectant mothers who have the conditions can buy a stretch mark removal cream that suits them.

Although there are various inconveniences during pregnancy, none of them can compare to the sweetness that the birth of a baby brings to mothers. Mothers are great. When the itchiness of stretch marks becomes unbearable, pregnant mothers must not forget to seek medical attention in time. Some situations that seem very difficult can actually be quickly resolved with the help of a dermatologist. Finally, I wish all pregnant mothers good health.
