Just rub bio oil or cocoa butter oil for stretch marks throughout the day.  Minimizes your skin from feeling so dry and itchy.

I just started getting them too and I can't stop scratching.  But if I was you I wouldn't do it cause they're just getting darker and more now.

I heard if you scratch them you make them worse because you break the skin! Try soothing creams on them, it might stop the itch :) xx
