Stretch Marks

[michaelcoutts]

Putting on 16 pounds in 2 months was probably a huge shock to my skin.

The result- 6 groups of stretch marks; two under both arm pits (where the pec and arm meet), two on the other edge of the armpit (eg back of shoulder), and two on each of my legs near my groin.

Nice red ones too. Look alot like scars.

Some people are proud of their stretchmarks, and i am glad that i have put on alot of muscle is a short amount of time but i do want to get rid of em though.

Anybody ever had stretch marks, and if so, a way to get rid of em.

Try skin lotion with cocoa butter in it. That will help new ones from forming and keep old ones from getting too much worse. I have horrible stretch marks from my chest they go under the armpits and all the way down my lats. The lotion helps a little to make them less obvious but once you have them their pretty much yours.

Cheers,

Yup. Best you can do is make them less noticeable, but a scar's a scar. It's not going anywhere.

Oddly enough, gt's right. They'll always be there. But, there's a crapload of different creams and gels for stretch marks containing things from strong frightening chemicals to herbal foofoo stuff.

Vitamin E, Cocoa Butter, and tanning will help to some degree. I use gobs of cocoa butter all year round, 2x a day to help prevent any new ones.

Ech, all the way down the lats... when you get old and your skin gets even worse, it's gonna like you got a pair of tits growin' under your pits...

In time they will fade if you stop growing...but lets get serious.

I suppose i can be proud they are stretch marks for the right reasons. *shudders at thought of fat stretch mark*
