Intense itching third trimester

Hi, I am 33 weeks + 4 days and I’m experiencing severe itching on my tummy, and it’s not just on the stretchmarks. I went for my check up at 32 weeks and dr prescribed some pills and moisturiser cream which hasn’t worked because the itch has spread to below my boobline, my boobs and also arms. Now the texture kinda looks like hives. I have tried mustela stretchmark cream, aloe vera gel, calamine lotion and applying snake brand powder but all only gave temporary relief. Pls suggest something!!😭 i’m going out of my mind trying to be mindful not too scratch my tummy too violently

I have that extreme itch also. I tried suu balm and bio-oil. For suu balm, it gave me a temporary relief. Bio-oil only last til the oil gets absorbed/dried out. So, I informed my gynae about this and she prescribed me corticosteroids tho you need a prescription for this before you can buy

My belly button was in so much pain, I thought it’s going to crack. Palmers tummy butter saved me! Give it a try maybe? It’s very oily though.

yes it's normal. I used Palmers cocoa butter everyday on my body and bio- oil additionally on the tummy area for stretch marks
