Painful, Itchy, Swollen Bumps On Stretch Marks. Tucks Pad Temporarily Stopped Itching. History Of Stretch Marks. Cause Of Concern?
I have old stretch marks on my hips and upper thighs. Yesterday I noticed a painful, itchy, swollen bump on the stretch mark (similar to a bug bite ) in two separate places ( approximately 2 1/2 appart). I put a tucks pad on the spot yesterday which temporarily relieved the itching. Is this something I should worry about? Is there something I could put on it to help?

hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with the possibility of ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS may be the cause for your sufferings.
possible causes;
-clothing
-cosmetics
-lotions
-medicaments
-chemicals
are some causes which trigger the allergic reaction.
there is another possibility like fungal infection due to sweating may rule out
I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
