Hi,

There r many red dots on my stomach n it makes me feel very itchy but my fren told me not to stretch cos it will have stretch mark after delivery, but the feeling really kill me now

Plz share with me how u overcome the itchiness during the pregnancy

1st of all........what is the cause of the red dots

second....... your friends most probably don't know how stretch marks are formed.......

red dots could be a sign of allergy. i think u better check it out with ur gynae.

it could be product u use, or food u ate.

That's definitely an allergy. Are you using any stretch mark creams? I used bio-oil and had major allergy - itchy red dots so that could be it for you.

My tummy is more sensitive to dust since it started containing a small person. I also get heat rash really easily all over the top half of my bump which causes a couple of days of really itchy red bumps.

Whenever my red itchy bumps have shown up i have put e45 cream or extra shea butter (what i am using to hopefully keep away the dreaded stretch marks) on in the evenings and lifted my top up when i am alone to give my skin some air, for me that has cleared up the itchy bumps within a couple if days.

Of course if you notice they flare up when you eat a specific thing or are exposed to something specific try to avoid that thing as it is probably an allergy.
If you are worried talk to your ObGyn but you might find, like me, that it is pretty simple to clear up.

ask hubby kiss kiss ur tummy xD

did u approach your dr about this?

I oso not sure, suddenly happen to be seen on my tummy n make me feel itchy

My fren told me if I scrash my tummy then it will cause stretch mark

Try olive oil. Look for organic virgin olive oil, it costs about RM30 for 250ml.
