Take vitamin E a cream at atleast 32000ius and apply that every morning and every night - take vit E orally for the internal make up of the skin - if neither work you can use a product called mederma (topical) that may help you - also cortizone will 'bleach' the skin to make it less noticeable and there is another option which is silicon patches to apply 24hrs a day to the site to make them blend with the skin - try these out - take zinc as well.

I heard that retina helps with stretch marks sorry for the spelling. YOu need to go to dermatologist for it though

some people have said that retin A helps with stretch marks but J&J started promoted that as a use for it before it was even FDA approved and there were some shady things going on in clinical to pass this through quickly - personally I dont bother with it (long story - I work in pharmaceuticals)

Note: To those new to the board, majic pills has been a standing joke around AR for somtime time now, I in no way mean to imply Mike sells majic pills.
