What are the causes of pregnancy itching?

Patient's question:

Itchy stretch marks have been bothering me for eight years, and this time they are the worst, lasting for a week.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, itchy stretch marks are likely to be Pemphigoid Gestationis, also known as "Pregnancy Polymorphic Eruption." If the itching from stretch marks is very severe, you can follow your doctor's advice to use calamine lotion, dexamethasone lotion, or steroid creams locally. You can also take antihistamines such as diphenhydramine for treatment. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of gynecological diseases during pregnancy should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
