tanning helps hide them but no way to get rid of them that im aware of

off topic but hows the new diet going, have you gained?

**tlash88** · 02-27-2012, 07:24 PM

Im actually dieting to cut weight, down ten pounds so far! Also thanks for the info

**DanB** · 02-27-2012, 07:32 PM

**tlash88** · 02-27-2012, 07:36 PM

Use cocoa butter bro .. The 'balm' kind not the one as a lotion ... They even have one women use for after pregnancy trying to rid stretch marks but not sure of the difference btwn the 2 ..

**Bryan2** · 02-28-2012, 01:11 PM

there is absolutely no way to get rid of them......

ive tried it all.

**Noles12** · 02-28-2012, 01:15 PM

If they are just coming in then cocoa butter daily can help.

**Dr Pepper** · 02-28-2012, 01:58 PM

Yeah iv heard coco butter works but in most cases your stuck with them. I was never a fat kid or anything but I realized the other day I have them. I'm usually around 13-14%bf but recently I cut and got to about 7% pretty fast then once the cut was finished rebounded back to 14% pretty quick. Guessing the rapid loss/increase of bf did it...

Completely forgot about Vitamin E , good point ... Also great for sun burn as it keeps your tan and stops your from peeling...

Rose hip oil is also good!

I agree. I was just showing Mrs.misery13 my new stretch marks and veins. I love my zebra stripes. I wish they would bleed when I worked out.

But to answer your question. Coco butter throughout the day and vita-e gel caps before bed. Tanning will hide them. Do not scratch them it will make them worse.

Can we state the obvious maybe stop having babies

Everyone that says rubbing what ever type of oil on it it is just fooling themselves.....

absolutely NOTHING you can do, the skin is already stretched putting oil on it doesnt magically shrink your skin back down.

But it does help with the itching and helps the skin stretch naturally.

Stretch marks are battle scars!

**SEOINAGE** · 02-29-2012, 01:54 PM

i was 20 when I got massive stretch marks everywhere as well. They can turn more white over time and be less noticeable. At least they aren't on places like my stomach, mostly ass, groin and front of thighs, which is usually covered.

There is no way to cure them, its to let him know they can be less noticeable over time and he isn't alone.

**awms** · 02-29-2012, 04:05 PM

I have them all over the place...arms,chest, legs ect...the only ones that really bother me are on my inner arms but w.e thats the price of being large I guess.

Ive tried it, It works with scars but not stretch marks.. plus you have to use it for months to really notice anything, and even then its not night and day
