Have you tried lots of vitamin E and tanning? As far as I know, there isn't an operation for getting rid of stretch marks, but you can hide them really well, or even make some of them fade away. I've got a few of them, and Im proud. Kind of like battle scars of weightlifting. Lotion everynight though is helping them fade though. IP: Logged |

ive heard women use retin A lotion for stretch mark reduction after childbirth...it basically speeds up the sloughing off process that occurs naturally on the upper layers of your dermis....sandpaper is another option...or let my boss blast it away with his coffee breath...im in hell...

vitamin E is not proven to definitaly work but it's known to premote healing. I promise you bro they will get better. I kinda like them mine to, just as yellow D98 was saying. Mine use to be bright red and now (after about a year) they faded to a much lighter color. IP: Logged |

Use a tanning lotion that REALLY keeps the skin moisturized, and hit the tanning booth a few times a week... they'll fade out a bit. My brother had severe ones... and he couldn't stand them.... and tanning helped fade them quite a bit. IP: Logged |

I feel for you as well I have seen two freaks of nature in regards to stretch marks and that sucks. I am lucky to have just little 1-2 inch ones on each side of the pec-delt insertion. IP: Logged |

Break open the Vit E caps and put it directly on your stretch marks. It works much better than vit E lotion. Also, when my brother had them the got darker purple when he tanned. My $0.02. Hope it helps. IP: Logged |

I don't know exactly what they are called, but I do know there is stuff on the market that claims to rid one of scars. Perhaps that may be something you would want to look into.

At least you got them from muscle growth! I gained a fair amount of weight quickly and I got them all over my stomach heaps of them and they where large and red especially on side handle area. It looked bad since it was just all fat. They have faded naturally the ones that where on my stomach seem to have almost dissappeared but he ones on sides are still apparent although the redness is pretty much faded. i also have them under arm pits( cant see them though unless lift arms. i have heaps on glutes as well. I think it may be to do with excess cortisol secretion or just some genetic susceptability. i think you can get laser surgery to fix them. IP: Logged |

I got micro-dermabration for my stretch marks, I had like five treatments of an hour each to get mine to fade away. Its suppose tocost an arm and a leg though, like $900 for it all. But my dads tech did it for free. Hehe, sorry but no freebies for you guys. Where everyou guys live I'm sure they are advertising micro-dermabration in the yellow-pages. Docs don't do it though cause its a wast of their time when they could be doing lipo. Check out EpiLight hair removal too if you want FDA approved permanent laser hair removal, its also expensive as a bitch! IP: Logged |

I would look into Mederma. Its an OTC cream designed for the reduction of scars and stretch marks. Ask your pharmacist. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I feel for you and feel selfish for complaining about my few little marks. I like to look clean and tan and yes the tanning definitely does fade them out. IP: Logged |

Put retin A and vitamin E directly on the stretch marks. It helped my wife who had severe stretch marks after our first child was born. It may be genetic, ask your parents if they've ever had the same problem. IP: Logged |
