Hello Sarah Jayne
Our skin is fairly elastic and this made evident when people reach the puberty stage or when women are pregnant. But at these times, skin health is quite crucial and our skin must be able to withstand tearing as it stretches.
Three layers make up the human skin: the epidermis, dermis, and then the subcutaneous stratum. Now, elasticity is very important in the dermis as it is this layer that stretches the most and yet isn’t as strong as the epidermis. When the dermis tears, this is the beginning of the formation of stretch marks. And when they do occur, stretch marks itch and burn; sensations that are very irritating and not good for our skin.
Signs
When your skin itches and burns, there are two things that you can learn about your body. The areas that do itch or burn could lack a lot of moisture and the skin in those areas is most likely very dry. You might also notice that the areas of your skin that are extremely dry will sometimes show stretch marks. Now, it isn't the stretch marks that cause the itching and burning. It is because the dermis has not been hydrated enough that itching and burning might occur.
More than that, the stretch marks indicate that the area of skin around the itching and burning is not moist enough. This is true because if your skin was hydrated enough then the dermis would not have torn and therefore no stretch marks might have appeared to start with. This is the only connection that can be made when trying to find out why stretch marks itch and burn.
How To Ease The Itching & Burning
Creams - People who do suffer from the itching and burning caused by skin that is not moisturized well, there are lots of cosmetic lotions and creams that can help the dryness. These lotions are not very effective in the long term because they are only temporary and you might find yourself using too much lotion or cream without results.
Hydrate - The ideal thing to do is to get rid of the problem at its root. The root of all dry skin is unhealthy skin. You can address this issue by first making sure that you drink a lot of water (at least 8 glasses a day to be exact) and also by using products that are known to address these skin issues properly.Try Rivitol Stretch Mark Cream from the website below.
