I just got fractora on my butt for stretch marks today and the doctor said it might be a little itchy as I healed but that it doesn’t happen in most people. “A little itchy” doesn’t begin to cover it. She gave me hydrocortisone for the itch if I needed it, but it’s not helping at all. Can I ice it? What all can I do to help? I want to rip my skin off.
