Is stretch marks common on guys? I don't know whether I'm cursed or what but I have stretch marks all over my butt. I'm extremely self-conscious because of them (haven't gotten intimate with any of my girlfriends because of them).
I want to get rid of them, but I hear it's impossible.
Can I at least lighten them somehow?
Help please.

I've had several ex's with stretch marks. Not that uncommon. It's from growing so fast during puberty. You can't get rid of them, but some creams out there will help to minimize the appearance. I used scar zone on my stretch marks after having kids. It's a lot like mederma, except cheaper, and it works. But you're not alone, so don't feel bad about them. I have them everywhere. Stomach, thighs, butt, breasts. Feel lucky it's only on your butt.

Hi there. Stretch marks are made of scar tissue as a result of rapid weight loss or weight gain like in puberty. Most men have a few if not more. They usually fade with time. There is no proof that Strivectin works. Most women don't care whether you have stretch marks or not. Don't deny yourself physical intimacy because of this. No one has a perfect body. Love safe and you are the only one that care about it, so relax and test the waters.

Lots of guys have stretch marks on their body. They are caused from gaining a lot of weight real fast.. the skin stretches too fast and leaves marks. They don't ever go away but you can tan a little and they aren't as noticeable.
Don't be self conscious about them because when a nice girl likes a guy well enough to get intimate with him she does not care about little things like that.
Every one has something they don't like about their body. Be happy, Don't worry!!

Try cocoa butter, it's supposed to be helpful for stretch marks. You probably won't be able to get rid of them. Just accept them and other people will accept them too. Don't be embarrassed either ... a girl who cares for you will think your stretch marks are cute!

I don't know how common or uncommon they are for guys to have them but put some vitamin E on them everyday. It will lighten them some but not necessarily a whole lot but it should help some. And they will lighten more the longer you do this.
