    Honestly they make some lotions that help. Pregnant women use them. I think it's mostly aloe and maybe coconut oil (cant remember) Google stretch mark lotions and I am sure there are a ton.

    Other than that they are kinda inevetable. When the skin grows fast or past it's potential stretch marks occure. Most BB just own em like a badge of honor.

    Vit E oil I believe as well!!!!!

    I think it depends more on your genetic disposition. Those maternal stretch-mark lotions don't work. It's all hype. I got stretchmarks on my back from training naturally. Sounds like you are describing pump though :P

    I was going to recommend the lotions and was curious if studies would support it and in most cases they don't help.

    I agree that you are either prone to it or not. I have seen little women pop out huge puppies and not a single stretch mark...

    My knowledge only comes from a pregnant wife (along time ago). I think the idea is that if you can keep the skin hydrated it will have better elastisity.

    I have heard Vit E oils work though

    It's an insane amount that develop stretchmarks! 50-55%ish!

    It appears that it is more prevalent in younger women that give birth to large "neonates" lol funny word they used.

    I have them too. The problem for me is I have them all over my stomach from when I used to be really fat. 310 at 33% body fat. That was embarrasing, it was a dark time in my life. I'm thinking about looking into laser therapy but it cost thousands of dollars. I might have stretch marks on my stomach but at least I have a ton of belly hair to hide them..lol
