simple babyoil or olive oil is better, also aloe vera stops the itch

There are several different things you can try. One is retin-A (a presription acne cream). That will definitley get rid of the bumps as well as tea tree oil. However the best thing by far is a cream called "Stretch Out". It is ideal for fading existing stretch marks and helps with prevention as well. It's an emulsion-based formula (oil and water) that soaks into the skin quickly while keeping the skin elastic and ultra moist for several hours. Stretch Out Fading Cream has a very mild fresh scent that's not overpowering or floral. It's priced reasonably even though it contains some of the same key ingredients found in other stretch mark fading creams that cost 3-6 times the price. Here's the website that you can buy it at: http://www.mothersintuition.com/pd_stretch.cfm.
If you don't want to go to the trouble of getting it online you can get most of the ingredients at Wal-mart and make your own verson. Stretch Out Cream includes Cocoa Butter, Lanolin, Shea Butter, Vitamins A, B5, C, D3 and E, wheat germ oil, Vegolatum (a plant-based alternative to petrolatum), olive oil (a sworn-by remedy in middle eastern cultures), avocado oil, jojoba oil, sesame oil, almond oil, aloe vera gel, collagen and elastin.
Hope this helps!!

I have friends who swear by this product while going through their pregnancies and claim that it has reduced the amount of stretch marks they get.
It is called udderly smooth. It was a cream that was originally created for cows' udders, as they chaffed and became very sensitive with the milking mechanism. Sometimes they even developed rashes. You can find it at your local drugstore or at the link below.
It's also a great handcream!
Good luck!

Aww I know how those feel, not from being pregnant but just by losing weight, I found that using neosporan and lotion works really good, strach makrs will go away as long as you keep them hydrated. So keep some kind of moisturizer on them pretty much all the time. I believe its vitemin E that helps, theres vitemin E capsils that come in a liquid form and those should help as well.

Stop scratching. My doctor told me that the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes and scratching is what causes the stretch marks. Try Gold Bond Medicated powder and also try Coco Butter after a shower. Good luck.

The best thing you can use on stretch marks like this, is coco butter! It comes in a lotion, the cocobutter itself relieves the itch, and also helps prevent new stretch marks from occuring! Apply as needed and this should alieviate the problem..good luck!

Try coconut oil.
Stay off the Benadryl while pregnant.

I am pregnant too with minimal stretch marks.....FIRST....DO NOT SCRATCH!! Scratching makes stretch marks more noticeable and red. SECOND....Use tons and tons and tons of non -perfumed & non-alcohol lotions. GOOD LUCK!
