Answer 1

Mederma is a scar cream that is meant for stretch marks... it is expensive ($27 per 2 ounce or so tube) but it works... I use it, and my mom used it when she got stitches. It makes your scars 50% smoother or more! So, go check it out!

Stretch marks are caused from skin stretching due to either pregnancy or obesity. When the weight is lost, the skin sometimes retains the marks from where it stretched. Sadly, there is nothing that can be done to eliminate them.

How to Prevent Stretch Marks
Since stretch marks occur when skin is stretched to the limit of its elasticity – it follows that the best prevention is either to reduce the cause of stretching or to increase elasticity (or both).






Increase your Skin’s Elasticity
Skin Creams and Lotions – Lotions containing cocoa butter are rumored to not only help reduce stretch marks, but to help prevent them entirely. Any cream or oil that is made specifically for the prevention or treatment of stretch marks will help keep your skin healthy and elastic. If you are pregnant or breast feeding consult your doctor first as lotions can contain ingredients that may be passed to your unborn baby or into breast milk.
Vitamin A, E & C – Supplementing these vitamins may help increase the strength and elasticity of the collagen within your skin and reducing your chance of forming stretch marks.

Answer 5

I don't think so.

I think once you get a mark its their for life. But I heard vitamin E cream will help reduce them so they don't look so fresh, with that and time they should simply fade away.
