under my arm pits is a bit sore and look slighly bruised i think it may be strech marks starting .
what can i do to stop them and why does this happen?do i stop lifting or lift light?or can you not stop it happening?

When your muscles grow quickly (when being "on" a cycle) your skin cannot grow quick enough to compensate the rapid muscle growth, therefore stretch marks appear.

Especially on a mass cycle this can occur.

Vitimin E cream can help and it can be bought over the counter

its under my armpits so you cant see it yet,does it spread to a noticeable area,my hearts sinking with this

pretty much only thing you can do is use creams, or try doing a little cardio to compensate. theyll go away eventually, some of mine have faded away over time but it took like 4-5 years.

Go with "Mederma." Not only will it heal over your current deep purple scars, it will ward off future ones with everyday application. Speaking from experience.

I got loads of little ones on my biceps and a few on my lats(near armpit) Also have em on my outer and upper pecs unfortunately. Was quite upset when it happened because they really stuck out, but over the course of a few years they fade quite a bit. Now i dont care about them, most girls dont mind em or even notice them. Rather be the way i am now with all those s'marks than how i was before bodybuildin. Retina-A will help a bit if ya get it on them while there still 'fresh'.

Syn where is this availible and how does it smell???

Any grocery store should carry it... Its used for preg. woman. I found it lasts about a month. Smells like soap I guess. Apply it and let it dry for about 3min. I use it once a day usually before bed.
