    Rubbing some cocoa butter and vitamin e lotion on them will minimize them. There is lots of discussion on this, use the search (not trying to be an asshole, I just don't remember all the treatments).

    I am going to be going into a summer lean bulk soon and I know the badges of honor will be coming back with a vengence, so I've come up with a plan to beat the little basterds.

    As many people are aware, stretch marks occour in the middle layer of skin, the dermis, which is why it is so hard to prevent/treat them. Many compounds and moisturizers which attempt to aid in the elasticity of the skin simply cannot reach down deep enough to have really any affect. As with any rule, there are exceptions. In this case the exception is a substance known as "emu oil".

    Since most of you are probably unfamiliar with it, emu oil is a oil which is extracted from the fatty matter area in the hump of the species of bird known as the "emu". (similar to an ostridge) What is unique about it, is that it has the ability to penetrate down deeper then most other substances and can reach the dermis, with some studies indicating that it can reach even deeper.

    Emu oil can be found online for fairly cheap. I plan on using it during my cycle along with vitamin e and coca butter to try to prevent stretch marks. I will report back on my findings after my cycle. Until then, I suggest others to give it a shot, all it can do is help.

    My girl has a 14" inch scar on her leg. The surgeon gave her an onion based cream to help heal the scar. He said it works on established scars/stretch marks as well, it just takes longer. The stuff was expensive but it worked very well.
