Stretchmarks....?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to get rid of stretch marks, Im 4 months pregnant, and my boobs have these ugly purple marks on them, I have already tried COCO butter and that didnt work, ive also tried Avon skin so soft. Is there anything out there that might be better? If I cant get rid of them is there anything that fades them?

Answer 1

Times fades them. Rub them with olive oil every day and it will keep the skin soft and they wont mark quite so much...;

Answer 2

i am on my second child and have been fortunate with very subtle marks. however, i do know that once the skin is stretched apart like it is, there is nothing u can do, it wont ever go back together, they probably will fade over a long period of time tho. also i want to tell u that even tho people say to use the cocoa butter lotion, stretch marks actually happen underneath the skin and the use of lotion is merely for a little more elastin in the skin and for dry and itchiness . hope this helps a little :)

Getting strech marks is largely hereditary. You can use a lot of products with Vitamin E to try to prevent them by increasing your skin's elasticity- but the only treatment for stretchmarks is time.

I've spent a small fortune on just about every cream, microdermabrasion, even this stuff made from snail slime! Please just save your money (seriously) and try to watch the weight gain. Over time the stretch marks will fade but the divets in your skin will never go away.

Sorry, I know how devistating it can be to have your body get ugly scars all over it :(

Answer 4

Nothing gets rid of streatch marks once they are there, period! But they will fade from purple to your skin tone & look more like a scar. Try using cocoa butter to prevent new ones, good luck

Answer 5

Unfortunately, there's no way to get rid of them except maybe cosmetic surgery or some sort of laser treatment.

The good news is that they should fade quite a bit on their own over time.

Mostly it's genetic...does your mom have a lot of stretch marks?

If you rub lotion/cream on your skin before it stretches that can help minimize.

Wait until later to worry about this. They will fade with time....the color anyway. And if you nurse your boobs will probably get bigger yet -- mine did. The color faded, and the stretch marks did to some degree. When you have that baby it will seem a small price. That is how I look at it -- a badge of honor!

Answer 7

The stretch marks on your breasts will fade with time after you give birth, but never completely disappear. Bio oil is supposed to be very good for preventing stretch marks, and for helping them fade. I don't think ordinary skin moisturisers are much good; try and eat plenty of foods with natural oils in them; avocado; oily fish; use only virgin olive oil for cooking and salad dressing, and oil, oil oil your skin, both tummy and breasts; again, bio oil, or a good quality baby oil.

Answer 8

They will never go away believe me, my belly looks like a road map (I am 35 weeks pregnant) Just use lots of coca butter and they will fade when you loose the weight after everything is over. But they are there for life sadly...

Answer 9

I have horrible stretchmarks all over my belly and breast that look like they are engraved in :( You can try vitamin E cream and other lotions but they may not always work! If stretchmarks are in your genes then there is no way of preventing them or getting them to disappear...Just think of it as a tattoo for having your baby!
PS: I honestly tried everything..

Answer 10

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.... I had the exact same thing and time is the only cure. It took about 3 years for mine to fade. Everybody is different so you may take less time or longer.

Good luck

Answer 11

Unfortunately, they never really go away. They CAN fade though. You might try vitamin E lotion, can help with elasticity and stuff. Keep using the cocoa butter too, will keep your skin nice and moisturized.
