Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

From your history and description, I would consider the possibilities of a fungal infection and increase in stretch marks.

Stretch marks per se can become itchy and bumpy if they are increasing in intensity. Use a good moisturizer preferably containing cocoa butter 2 times a day on the marks and massage.

A fungal infection presents as a round rash with powdery scaling on the borders. This can clear with the use of an antifungal cream with Clotrimazole applied twice a day for 2 weeks.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
