I found the solid version of the palmers cocoa bump butter to be the best. The itching is probably stretch marks, although I’m convinced this cream made mine much less noticeable.

Unless the itching is all over your body and on your hands/feet?

Terribly dull and predictable but I just find Sudocrem is like the wonder cream for all things dermatological.

My son recently had a stinking cold and all his nose and the skin surrounding it/upper lip was all red and raw from the constant nose blowing. A slathering on of Sudocrem and it was gone by the morning.

I use it all the time and it's never let e down. Itchy, sore, chafed, dry, bites, bumps .. Sudocrem just seems to sort it.

It's cheap, you get a massive pot of it for your money, it moisturises and if it doesn't work for your particular condition, it certainly won't do you any harm.

I have been using aveeno skin relief and it's sorted it right out not an itch for weeks!
