i have stretch marks allover my body. my arms, my stomach and lower back, and even behind my knees. they are not small or barely noticeable, either. they are very easily seen and they bring down my confidence quite a bit. i dont even like wearing tank tops because of the ones that extend from arm pit to elbow. please dont tell me to use vitamin e or cocoa butter or to get a tummy tuck. the first two do not work and the last i cannot afford. i saw an ad for a cream called TriLastin. has anyone heard of it? used it? or used something else with good results?

Your more then a stretch mark I'm sure so don't let it bother you. How did you get them? There is a cream called StriVectin-SD it is a prescription cream but I ordered it from an online pharmacy just to see if it would work on a bad scar I have as thats what stretch marks are they are just collagen that tears when skin is stretched beyond its limit. I know of a woman who had twins both over #7 a piece and she was huge everywhere and never got one stretch mark and then I have a bay a little over #6 less then one of her two babies and I did get some on my thighs, few on my stomach and the worst is on my sides and back but they aren't so bad I can't wear a bikini as I just ignore them and people don't like it well they don't have to look I guess. I had toxemia really bad and had swelling everywhere so I did get some stretch marks on the sides of my face and this is the reason I have them on my thighs and behind my calves as well. As you get older they won't bother you anymore. Oh and by the way my boobs look like a railroad track, VERY BAD there and some are still purple after 31yrs. and as far as I know once they are there they are there!!

dont worry i have the same thing but its on my waist all i did was bought some aloe vera (its this green gel) it says it helps with sunburns and etc. but it also helps with stretches all you need to do is to rub it on your skin were they are for a couple of week and they will some begin to disapper however they will still be there but they wont be so noticable. the only time you or someone eles might is if they stare madd long at it or if you point it out
oh yah when they start appering again just put it on again and they will dissaper like before
really hope that helped
bye

If you're going to use cocoa butter it has to be Palmer's. The natural contents are better than any other (tried and proven). Massage also helps tighten the skin up, you can do this yourself or get a massage once or twice a month, but use olive oil.
