What to do if the stretch marks are itchy for seven or eight years

Many mothers will immediately develop some fine dark purple lines with indentations on their belly, thighs, waist and other areas during pregnancy. They look like claw marks and are very ugly. Not to mention, they will also be extremely itchy, as if there are thousands of ants on the body. This is commonly known as stretch marks. Stretch marks usually become lighter after giving birth, but what should I do if stretch marks that have lasted seven or eight years are still itchy? Can stretch marks disappear after two years?

Many women have been unable to persist in taking care of themselves when removing stretch marks. The behavior of giving it a try for three days and then giving it a try for three days will not help to quickly remove stretch marks. As the duration increases, stretch marks become more difficult to remove, but this does not mean that we can’t do anything about stretch marks that last for two years.

No matter how many years you have had stretch marks on your body, you must first understand that the cause of itching is simply that the skin is too dry, and the most important thing is to moisturize the skin. When stretch marks are itchy, be sure to control your restless hands and remember not to scratch them to avoid making the situation worse. In addition to drinking enough water every day, you should also insist on applying vegetable oil, lotion and other skin nourishing products to the areas with stretch marks every now and then. At the same time, you should supplement more vitamin C, vitamin E and protein-rich foods, and avoid carbohydrates or foods with high calories.

1. Eat more vitamin C ingredients

Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus, strawberry sprouts, vegetables and many fruits, especially mangosteen, mango, kiwi, etc., which have a very high content. Not to mention that regular consumption can reduce stretch marks, it can also make the skin whiter and smoother. But the disadvantage is that it works very slowly. Some people who have tried it may say that they almost vomited after eating, but did not see any changes in their stretch marks.

2. Showering improves skin elasticity

The shower method is very simple. When taking a shower, first use warm water to adjust the temperature, then use slightly hot water to open the pores of the cells where there are stretch marks, then use cold water to shock, and then use hot water. Repeat this process to achieve the effect of improving skin elasticity. Why do we alternate between hot and cold water? Because hot water can open the pores of the human body, which helps to remove dirt in the pores, while cold water has the effect of tightening the pores, so the expansion and contraction of the pores can increase the elasticity of the skin. But be careful, it must be done at an indoor temperature above 20 degrees to avoid colds and fever.

3. Appropriate massage

Appropriate and professional massage can be of great help in dealing with abdominal itching caused by stretch marks. On the one hand, massage can promote the body's blood circulation, speed up metabolism, and allow dead cells to be excreted from the body along with the body's metabolism. On the other hand, massage can also speed up the body's function recovery. Therefore, women who often massage can remove stretch marks and solve the problem of stretch mark itching faster than women who do not massage. Of course, simple massage is very slow to work, and that's why many mothers don't have the patience to do it. If you want to quickly deal with the itchy abdomen caused by stretch marks, then it is best to use skin care products.

If you persevere and use the right methods to fight stretch marks, no matter how old you are, the stretch marks will disappear one day.
