tummy itches

So, i know that as your skin stretches it will occasionally itch but the last 2 days i feel like i cant help but scratch the hell out of it. Anyways, scratching leads to more stretch marks and deeper scars ect so i need suggestions, this is my 2nd baby by the way so i know to use oil,lotion, keep it from getting dry but anyone know of something that helps take the itching away.

The smell doesnt bother me but i think the bath and body works is irritating my skin ya know!?  My stretch marks with my first were so faint and they go in a perfect circle around my belly button. Its looks funny cause they just look like  a deflated balloon. You actually couldnt see them when i was pregnant only after i had my little man but now all those are turning bright red and you can actually feel the marks now:(  it is what it is right!?

Palmers cocoa butter is what I use it does work, it feels kinda gross when you apply then.put clothes over your skin because its pretty thick stuff, if you put it on 3times a day it.should take it away....another poster said they use Bio Oil..ive heard it works :)
