    Armpit strech marks. Coca butter/vit E not helping, plan B

    Hey guys, just came off a bulker and got some run of the mill stretch marks on my upper arm and armbit. Then are short and fat. I have been doing palmer's coca butter / Vit E 2-3 times ED for about 3 weeks now, and not only have they not gotten better - I'm pretty sure they have gotten slightly worse.

    Plan B?

    Mederma - how does has this taken for people to be effective?

    Strivectin - how long has this taken for people to be effective? Should I just quit ****ing around and throw down for this stuff?

    Thanks bros.

    I used mederma on the scar from my bowel resection (colon cancer). It took about 3 months of use before it was fairly unnoticable. The scar was about 3 inches long, shaped like an "I" and raised. Now it's very faded and is only obvious when i'm tan.

    I've never used micro-derm abrasion on stretchmarks, but I've tried it on some motorcycle road rash and it did lighten the scars.
    Good Luck,

    RPN (Recomp Performance Nutrition) has a new soap you may want to try, it is designed specifically for aiding in the healing of stretch marks and scars; it comes in small bars, jumbo bars, or liquid, and it very affordable, so I would definitely suggest giving it a shot. I used one jumbo bar myself on the pec/bi stretch marks at the shoulder area I have, can't say it was a miracle or anything but they did get a little better, I would imagine with continued use it would be very beneficial. User reviews have been highly favorable, as well. You can get it online though NP. Here's their sales pitch:

    At the very least it's cheap, it gets you clean and it smells great... if it doesn't work on your stretch marks at all then it's not as if it's a total waste

    i have not yet tried Strivectin that my dr has mentioned for me to pick up at any gnc or wherever to buy.. he said its the only stretch mark cream he knows thats works.. its expensive tho ..

    i picked up some Galenic stretch mark cream at any shoppers for $40 and use that twice a day with also vit E 3x a day and with a week of use the stretch marks are fading away quite fast.. give er a try

    u know what guys, i though the same mine are going away. the arm pit ones are very thick and probally wont ever go honestly.

    the chest ones can fade.

    other area of your body you just need to not get to fat. when i carb up way to much water and i get this shit everwhere.

    dont get to fat. keep an eye on the waist.

    Stretch marks on armpits, glutes, quads, pecs and calves should be worn proudly.

    They are a sign and right of passage from the world of smallness and normality to that of greater things.
