Patient's question:
Now the baby is three and a half months old, and the mother's abdomen has extremely itchy stretch marks. Sometimes I can't resist and scratch until it bleeds. I would like to ask the doctor what is the cause of this and if there is a solution.Doctor's answer:
Is it hives? Hives have an irregular shape and can spread all over the body, accompanied by a strong itching sensation. They appear quickly and often disappear just as fast. When hives occur, applying topical medication is not very effective. Oral antihistamines like Cetirizine or Clorpheniramine can be chosen. In severe cases, oral or even injectable corticosteroids may be necessary. For specific advice, please go to the hospital.
