I am of African descent and I have stretchmarks on my buttocks and lower-back. I also have keloid scarring and dark marks from previous cuts ever since my childhood days. I really want to get rid of or atleast fade these imperfections to pursue my modelling career. They have stunted my confidence to move forward towards that goal and I would really like to get it back. Does anyone know how to help me in my current dilemma?-Thanks!

You should at least try if you really want to be a model and don't let stretch marks or scarring effect your confidence. Every person has scars and stretch marks somewhere! All the models have tons of make-up and have their photos air brushed anyway. Have you ever seen America's Next Top Model? Most of the girls aren't even that pretty until they go through hours of hair and make-up and THEN have their photos touched up. If it really bothers you find someone who can do your make-up etc. well and go for it!

I was proud of my strech marks they represent very happy times in my life & as I am getting older they are merging with the cellulite. I dont care . There is so much pressure on people to be blemish free. Cosmetic surgery has gone from being for the rich and famous to some thing you must have . The only operations I want are the medical ones .If I have a mole and it is not cancerous it stays put . I will keep me laughter lines. I suppose we are pressurised to be perfect we see young slim beautiful people in the media and aspire to be like them .

I'm not interested in modeling, but I've been wondering the same thing about my own stretch marks. I think the only sure way is laser treatments. I've also heard that Strivectin SD works really well. And if anyone tells you to put vitamin E oil on it, don't. It doesn't work. It actually made mine darker, and made me break out from all of the oil.

Yes, I am a model you can have scars.
I have scars on my body in a photo shoot they will just photoshop over them do not worry about them. Runay models it does not matter either as long as you can fit into what they give you your fine.

Did you see the third season of americas next top model yaya had a bad acne problem along with dark spots in her face. If thats something you really want to do and you have the passion and drive for it go for it and people will look past your flaws and see your talent. Of course they want over look it they would help to give you the resources you need to help your skin problems.

YEA go for it girl!! I my self am a model! I two have 2 scars on my face, they normally just cover it with make-up! But right now i have this huge cut on my cheek, and make-up wont cover it, so they just shoot side angles and angles where they can't see the cut! So GO ON GIRL!

they have creams for stretchmarks, it may take up to like 6 weeks for it to actually start working but im sure its worth it and they also have those creams for scarring, try it out and if that doesnt work try seeing a dermotologist.

As far as becoming a model of course you can ! Everybody knows they airbrush out any imperfections ! and as for the Keliod scaring see a dermatologist they can reduce the look of these drastically.
