Question about stretch marks ?

I have had this before, but no as bad as I do now.  When losing weight I find that my stretch marks start to itch.  This time around, since I am losing the weight fast on the shakes, I am finding it to be really itchy.  I have been applying baby powder, which seems to work for a little bit, but then it starts to itch in about an hour or so.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you manage the itching?  I am afraid of scratching myself down to my flesh.

 I haven't experienced this since post babies but have you tried an anti itch cream and moisturizer?

i would try a lotion like aveeno or gold bond, which has an anit itch thing in it, or just lotion, every every day. It might not be the losing weight that's doing it, but it could be that you're somewhat dehydrated.

up your fluids
moisturize
keep your bath/shower temp tepid rather than hot.
