Itchy stretch marks?

Hello all, I’m beginning to suffer badly from itchy stretch marks. I cannot seem to hold back from scratching them as it has become an unconscious and unintentional thing. I was wondering if any of you had any recommendations of creams or oils I could use that actually work? Please let me know 😩🙏🏼

I can't remember what cream I used now, my babies are 9 and 7 years old. My advice would be to keep some cream with you wherever you go and frequently reapply it whenever you go to the toilet, keeping the skin well moisturised. Hope that helps.

I had this during pregnancy, the only thing that helped was Aloe Vera gel, I bought an organic one called ‘Eclat’ from Amazon with a high AV content and it stopped the itching. Normal moisturising creams seemed to make it even more itchy! Hope it helps x
