Rentin-A is the best thing i've used thoughout a cycle. If the stretch marks are red still using retin-a will heal them, if however they have changed to a silvery white colour they cannot be treated with retin-a

Peace

The dermatologist is just going to tell you theres nothing that can be done. Try cutting you BF % down before your cycle so there is less mass on your arms. If you get big enough fast enough your gunna get em, just treat them while they are fresh and after a while they will hardly be visible.

if they're the spider web looking marks, tanning will work wonders...

They make a cream for pregnant women. My wife got some atthe Motherhood store. She blew up while pregnant...like 65lbs...on a girl that is 5'9" and normally weighs 140. She had a 9lb 6 oz baby, so her stomach was HUGE. She used the cream from Motherhood every night, and she does not have a single stretch mark. The delivery nurses couldn't believe it.

You might give that stuff a try while bulking.

I've never looked at them as a concern, I just deal with them

I gained up fast early on my cycle.... they were red spiderweb looking things but I learned vitamen E and Coemzyme help... I took those, been to tan salons and all are nearly indetectable now about 1.5 months later. I think I caught it with the vitamen E just as they were forming and got some healing action going before they stretched too much.

Right on brotha... That means ur growing son, it's part of the game.. wait till you get them on your biceps

I think some people just have a propensity for getting them... I've gained 40 lbs over time that I've kept, gained 20 at a cycle and never got one stretch during that time... guess I'm kinda like a shar pei dog, but can't get the abs to get really sharp to save my life!

i rub cocco butter all over all the time, i don't have a stretch mark at all, plus it makes your skin look healthier. it smells good too... my .02

Dude, what the heck is in your avatar? Bear scat using the phone?

I'm so confused!

**PumpDaddy8303** · 12-21-2003, 09:46 PM

coca butter or vitamin d also works well. You can get vitamin d in get caps then poke a hole in them and smear the gel on the stretch marks. Do this for a couple of months and they should disappear.

I get them on my rear delts especially. But arms and armpits are problems too. Zinc lotion is the best formula I've found to date.

If your momma has them, your probally gonna get them.

Nothin is gonna really help. You gain too much too fast, and it will happen. Hell Ive even had em pop up when I was just maintaing really and not trying to gain or lose anything.

Some of the lotions or oils may help a little, but go look at your momma's and thats probally what yours are gonna look like.

It sucks...
