Starivectin and Prilastin are supposedly great, but not for women who are nursing their baby. Cocoa butter doesn't work, either,

Most drugs that are used on the skin alone are safe for breastfeeding. But don't assume this is the case for the ones you mentioned specifically. Call a local La Leche League Leader (see sources section below) who can look up information on the specific things you need to know. Be ready to give her not just the trade names of the products, but also a complete list of ingredients (read the box).
Keep in mind that La Leche League Leaders are volunteers who work from their own homes while caring for their own kids. So if you don't get through the first time, call again, or try a different Leader.

Cocoa Butter works. I had a scratch underneath My eye and I used cocoa Butter and it worked. The thing is you can;t use the cream it has to be the stick. It very cheap and it is easy to travel with. Right now I don't even have a scar at all. Good Luck.

If you go to www.babycenter.com, they have a LOT of products for pregnant and nursing women for skin problems. I'm sure they'll have something you can use. Stretch marks do fade with time, though, and while progress is being made in treating them with creams and medications, time is the only thing proven to actually get rid of them to any degree. Good luck, though! :)
