The Infamous: STRETCH MARKS

s.fl.mommy · 03-09-2007, 10:25 PM

I'm a proud mom with the battle scars to prove it. But recently I've been gaining some weight and realized how the stretch marks on my side appear to be getting bigger/wider.
I'm just starting to deal with the weight gain but c'mon now I have to deal with this too. Does anyone have a good remedy or treatment for this??

I got through my first three pregnancies without a single stretch mark. Then came my son and I made up for it all at once. I was so upset! A friend gave me some stretch mark cream to fade them. I didn't think it would work, but I tried it. They aren't gone, but have definitely faded. I ordered more online. This is the cream I use. I hope this helps! Merz Mederma at DermStore

No creams will remove stretchmarks completely, there are some that will help smothe if off though. The only thing that will remove stretchmarks is surgery and that is alot of money! i have no kids and i have stretchmarks on my hips, so i can just imagine when i do have them!

Tanning has helped mine fade - as well as palmers cocoa butter (makes the skin firmer as well...actually feels a little weird at first) but I want to try mederma because I've heard that works well ...

I use cocoa butter. I haven't really seen a result yet, but I NEVER had stretch marks until I got to college, where I've gained about 40+ pounds. I'm only 22, and I have horrible ones in between my thighs.

Its true that stretchmarks doesnt really go away completely...it'll just fade...You might want to try using shea butter as an alternative...use it twice daily...

Products like Revitol or Plagentra Oil are proven to lighten stretchmarks so it'll blend with the skin.
