Has anyone else ever developed a rash on their stomach from Palmer's cocoa butter? I know it's not Pupps, because I've done a lot of reading on it and I've read Pupps avoids the belly button area. My rash started in my belly button and is about 3 inches around. That's where I was putting my cocoa butter because it was stretching so much. Let me know

I agree with Leigh, Palmers didnt work for me or my bestfriend. Neither of us had a rash though, sorry. He switchid to a vaseline product for stretch marks. I switched to Bio-oil. The pharmasist told me that it wouldnt stop the stretch marks from forming, but continuous use after I had my son worked for me!

i'm allergic to cocoa butter (itchy, sometimes a rash, and i can't eat it either). i use Curel Motherhood/pregnancy lotion. it's really think and leaves skin moisturized for about 12 hours. my doctor told me stretch marks are genetic, so while lotions and oils can help reduce the severity of them, it wont completely stop them from happening. my daughter is now 12 1/2 months and my stretchmarks are much lighter in color and less itchy.

Not me personally, but I know quite a few woman who have developed a rash from it. Apparently it's a pretty common thing. Palmers didn't work for me anyways, used it every day and still got major stretch marks. Use Bio-Oil, it really works!!!
