How can I minimize the appearence of stretch marks?

Question

I used to be really skinny, I was very unhealthy, and now I am at a normal weight, but the rapid weight gain caused me to get nasty red stretch marks on the top outside part of my thighs and some a little higher. I really sucks, I hate the way they look. Any suggetions on reducing the way they look?

Answer 2

Try Mederma, it's an over the counter gell that helps minimize the appearance of scars.

I've used it when I had knee surgery, and I was pretty impressed with the results.

But you have to be very disciplined in using it twice a day to get the best effects, also the sooner after the mark appears, the better.

I have some now too from, growing up (and out:) a little too fast on my thighs and hips. I used to be really embarrased by them, but then I when I got engaged, I found out my husband-to-be had them too. Now we just don't care and laugh about it. Sometimes I think that's been the best treatment for me.

best wishes

Answer 3

There is nothing that can reduce a stretch mark once you get them. All the products that they show do not do anything for them. All you can do is just live with them.

Answer 4

You can TRY those new scar and stretch mark reducer cream and pacthes. I used them and they didn't work for me.....but they may work for you. Other than that.....nothing I have ever tried has helped, but they do fade with time

Answer 5

my suggestion is to not use any products on tv they show unless vitamin E skin cream. When i used it i faded in time it may not work but like the other person said try to make the best of it.
