Accepted Answer

Family practice : An itchy stomach isn't a common complaint of birth control medication.  Pregnancy could i guess cause it. That would be less likely if you are on birth control.

Question 9

hi i want to know what kind of itchy cream i can use during pregnancy  without harming the fetus ? 
thanks

Accepted Answer

General rules: To affect the fetus any medication/drug must enter the bloodstream where it would then be carried to the fetus. None of the OTC creams or lotions have anything that penetrates the skin deep enough to enter the blood. A few of the prescription creams with specialized skin transfer drugs would be a problem, but you can discuss this with your doc.

Question 10

hi doc i was wondering why my stretch mark from my pregnancy four years ago so itchy out of no where again like when i was pregnant?

Accepted Answer

See belo: Usually that is from stretching more--are you gaining weight again?  Also can be from excess dryness--the oil glands can be damaged during stretching.  Try some baby oil on them twice a day for a week.
