 Stretch marks!

I got off of my first cycle about a month ago. I didn't want to do anything too potent and suffer side effects, so I went a "mild" route with Deca and Winny Depot. After 11 weeks, I had gained about 25 lbs, of which 10 were probably real muscle. My problem is, I guess my pecs grew so fast, that, near the top where they insert into the upper arm, I just recently noticed a nasty, purplish stretch mark! I thought I had anticipated any possible side effects, but this I was not prepared for. Is this reversible? Is there any effective treatment like an ointment or something? Any advice from anybody with personal experience or expertise in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Cuts (edited January 14, 2001).]     | ||

Put cocoa butter with vitamin E on them and be patient. They take a lone time to fade and probably will not ever go away. Tan em too. | ||

They're not pretty but what can you do about it. I've tried cocoa butter and vit E. I only had them on the one side of my underarms at first. Wouldn't you know that as soon as they started to fade I got them on the other side too. You can only really see them if I lift my arms up though. So I guess it's not that bad... | ||

Wait until you use test/anadrol/dbo in a cycle, you will know about strech marks then. I had to come off mid cycle due to the amount of pain I was in from mine. ------------------ | ||

I have the same problem with stretch marks, the biggest one is under my left arm which is about 5inchs in length, but its faded from the deep purple color that it was to more of a skin color after about 7 months or so. I find tanning helps also along with retin a(acne cream), and vit e oil as mentioned. Hope this helps bro. Gymbob. |
