stretch marks

[xCharliex]

the most disgusting thing in the world and i've got them! theyre getting redder and redder i know its due to eating too much christmas food and not excersing enough but is there any way i can make them go while i diet and excersise!? p.s any other solutions than bio oil, thats a bit pricey!

You could try wheatgerm oil.

p.s. they are not the most ugliest thing in the world and as you get older, you learn to live with them, they are part of you, when you have children they will be virtually unavoidable.

Nope. Once you get them they are there forever.

They wont stay red forever is the good news. Not gaining weight too rapisly is the only way to stop them.... I think you are just unlucky, nothing can make them go away but keep your sking moisturised that should help and they should fade soon, anyway.

as a man, i actually like them, i think they make ladies look all womanly....

If you have a very kind doctor, he might well prescribe you some retin-a whilst they are red, success rate at getting rid of them is 80% if you wait till they are silvery and faded that decreases a lot.

i have had 2 kids i dont have any on my tum just a few on top off my legs i guess i have good skin

[ilovemarkb]

have you tried using bio-oil.it costs around �8 to �9. ive used this on strech marks on my tummy (from 9 years ago).I didnt notice any difference until using it for around ten days. It seems to have smoothed the ridges out, i would definatley recommend it.Tis important to massage it in and not just to slap it on. good luck!
