Itchy Tatas

They're killing me - is there any remedy for them other than just constant lotion?

I have been using bio oil and it has helped a lot with the itch, I rub the oil after shower and don't need to reapply till next day.

Plus it makes it incredibly awkward when you're doing it at work and a coworker walks in.

Right now I'm actually using my face moisturizer (Burt's Bees Sensitive skin) on my boobs since it soaks in better than my regular lotion.  I hear lanolin or boob cream that you use when breastfeeding is good.  Also, maybe don't directly soap your boobs in the shower since it can be drying?

Ugh just my nipples are so itchy right now.  It's driving me insane.  I haven't been doing anything other than lotion but that isn't doing much.

I use Bio Oil, just keep them moisturized, might be a little ezema (sp?) pregnant skin is funny that way.

The thought of my nipples peeling is absolutely terrifying.

I use Cortizone 10 Intensive Healing lotion. Nothing else works and some of the other lotions I've tried actually make the itching worse.
