What Does Burning Sensation On Stretch Marks Indicate?
Hi, I currently experience a burning sensation in my old stretch marks on my right hip. We are trying to conceive and it has been hurting for about 4 days on and off. It then goes down to my public area. I am wondering if this is a sign my uterus may be stretching as I might be pregnant. I have never had stretch marks that hurt like this before. I have gained about 3 pounds in over a month and a half. Trying to figure it out, and if I am pregnant this would be my second pregnancy.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Burning sensation what you are experiencing in the stretch marks is not due to stretching of uterus. It could be because of mild inflammation in the region due to dryness or contact dermatitis. Kindly apply Mometasone cream over the affected area thrice daily. Apply moisturizer cream over the affected area at bedtime. Gradually, your symptoms should subside and you should be back to normal.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
