the dreaded stretch marks

[cev79]

I bet a lot of us have them, especially if we grew pretty fast over a short period of time. Do you find that tanning covers them up the most (mine are newer, still pretty purple, mainly on my legs) or do you guys have a favorite cream you like? I've gotten some creams aimed towards pregnant women, but just didn't seem to do the trick.

I've been covered in them since high school. On my legs, upper arms, armpit area. I've tried pretty much every cream I've ever had recommended to me. In the end, the only thing that ever helped them fade is time. There are chemical treatments and such if they bother you that much. The way I look at it, if you don't want stretch marks, don't plan on getting very big. All of us have to deal with them.

I got some stuff from walmart that is actually working well....it does not make them disappear, but it has caused them to fade...I've got them under my arms/wrapping up around my shoulders...anyway, its called Palmers:

Yeah I just got Palmers I'll try that and see if it fades them but yes, very true, if you don't want to get stretch marks then stop lifting to gain size. They're just so ugly ugh. But I think tanning will help cover them up, esp pro tan on stage. The pro's must have mega stretch marks that they have to cover up.

Google "microneedle" or "microroller"

hey man kick ass thanks!

I'm thinking the dermaroller followed by something like Palmer's would be a great attack on fresh stretch marks.

Coco butter has always worked for us.
