Stretch Marks

No one can really give you a proper answer on this, because it basically depends on the individual.

Some people report their stretch marks fading from pink/purple to white within months.

Myself, some of my stretch marks took upto 2 years to fade.

So, time will tell.

you can reduce their appearance by not gaining too much weight and with proper preventive measures. You can apply cocoa butter on to the stretch marks.Massage with vitamin E oil into the stretch marks, especially after shower.Eat foods that are rich in vitamin A, E and C.Eat foods that are rich in zinc, and silica. These are good for skin and help form collagen.Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids. For example, vegetables, vegetable oils and fish oils. This will help make cell walls. There are many different types of stretch mark creams that can improve the texture of the skin and make stretch marks less visible. Many will help to reduce appearance of stretch marks, but certain preparations are meant for use only on newer scars. Using these stretch mark creams on severe stretch marks, or those more than a year old, may not show marked improvement.

yes everybody has them well most women some are lucky and never get them but who care its a part of life just learn how to deal with them they are not that bad..... plus its how you fell dont worry about others and models just have great makeup to cover them up yuppp even the skinny of them get them ok

You can lighten scars by using either home remedies or over the counter whitening creams.

Those who want to lighten scars the natural way can use lemon juice (leave it on for 15 mins before rinsing), aloe gel (can be applied alone or with honey & sandalwood in a paste), olive oil (massage scars with it for 15 mins), vitamin E (massage also), honey, the combination of yogurt and lemon (use it as a mask), milk (dab it with cotton wool) and cucumber (spread paste over scars and rinse after 10 mins).

As for whitening creams, avoid those that have harmful ingredients like hydroquinone. Choose products like Whiterderm, etc --those that are made from natural ingredients.

I don't see any benefit, nor have heard of any.

if you are stretching the skin a lot like doing extraneous exercises that really stretch out your skin then yes , but light exercise is fine

Stretch marks are formed by rapid stretching of the skin. Its caused by these major components: Growth (as in height or width), rapid weight gain, or pregnacy. You can fade them. You'll find many products on the market for stretch mark removal. Also, you can get laser treatment for harder ones.

== == Diet and exercise

Drink plenty of water. Adequate hydration keeps your skin soft and less likely to develop stretch marks

Lotions and creams- Olive Oil, vitamin E oil, Mederma for scars, or Palmers Shea cocoa butter formula for stretch marks. You can find them both at drug stores.

for me i started out with one little stretch mark on my lower belly into my 6th week. before i reached my 12th week my lower belly is filled with them and it made its way to my belly button. so yes it is possible.i just want to know why??

I'm not completely sure but, I would think so since the muscle is stretching your skin. It can stretch your skin just like fat. That's the main cause of stretch marks...i have them all up and down my legs...im only 13.

Well my good sir, it can stretch around the earth 10x fold. This has been proven by Harvard medical examinations, on the 6th of November 2005. By scientist and fellow doctor Jerry Wilson.

New 100% Effective Stretch Mark Cream - Erase All Your Stretch Marks Instantly Today - Guaranteed Results - Did you know you can actually massage your stretch marks?

Creams, herbs, oils, vitamins - only if it were that easy. The simple truth is that there is still no definitive way to treat stretch marks, although researchers are working hard to find them. In the meantime, here's what you need to know.

Stretch marks, unsightly reddish, purple, white, or silver streaks are called stretch marks in medicine. They are most common in places where your body stores fat, such as the thighs, buttocks, stomach, chest, and upper arms. Some people are more susceptible to it than others.

Stretch marks are the result of rapid growth or weight gain that often occurs during puberty and pregnancy. There is some evidence that hormones play a role in causing stretch marks, but quick and simple weight gain and muscle gain can also cause stretch marks. Men get stretch marks just like women, but because men have thicker skin, they don't suffer from stretch marks as often as women.

Simply put, as your body builds up mass rapidly, cracks and cracks appear in the dermis, the deep layer of your skin, and appear as scars like scars on the epidermis (surface of the skin). A doctor recommends that you think of the dermis as a sac. When the bag is stretched, the fibers are permanently separated. With this visualization, it's easier to understand why topical treatments like creams and oils don't work. You don't go deep enough to make a difference. Likewise, herbs, vitamins, or medications have not been shown to improve the dermis. Don't fall victim to such aggressive "solutions" advertisements on the Internet.

Microdermabrasion and chemical peels also don't penetrate deep enough to work properly. This option can improve the quality of the skin covering the gaps in the dermis, but that's all you can expect from this surface treatment.

There is a lot of talk today about laser and light therapy for stretch marks. Most trusted dermatologists and plastic surgeons say this treatment can have some value when the stretch marks are new and reddish in color, and less so when the spots are mature (usually silvery white). If you decide to try one of these options, be sure to ask what happens if you're not happy with the results. Protect your wallet.

Plastic surgery is an option for some people who have not only stretch marks but sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits on their belly. A tummy tuck or tummy tuck, often combined with liposuction, can tone and improve the appearance of your entire belly, including removing stretch marks. If this sounds interesting to you, consider making an appointment with at least two board-certified plastic surgeons and paying special attention to what the procedure can do for your stretch marks. Depending on where your stomach crease is, you may not be able to get rid of your entire belly. And remember, you're replacing smaller stretch marks with bigger scars.

Currently, the best way to combat stretch marks is to prevent them as much as possible. This is another good reason to keep your weight under control and avoid being overweight and/or gaining and losing weight. And if you're a bodybuilder, consider a program that will help you gradually develop and tone your muscles.

If you are pregnant and weight gain is unavoidable, keeping it at a reasonable level will help. In fact, pregnancy is a time to watch out for vitamins - adding extra vitamins by mouth will generally help you stay healthy, and many doctors believe that applying vitamins like B and C topically will do no harm. (Again, this is about prevention, not repair.) Wearing a good supportive bra can help prevent tearing and stretching as your breasts increase in volume.

Well there no great options for treating stretch marks as they are a common problem for women. Two areas of research are promising: drugs that act on hormones that affect the dermis and lasers that penetrate deeper and help restore the collagen and elastin fibers that support the skin. Prevention is now the order of the day.

Actually, it is very bad to scratch a rash. If you have a rash from allergies or poison ivy, scratching it can do several things. First off, it can cause infection and damage your skin. Also, you just don't want to because it will make the unbearable itch even more unbearable and spread it. People have told me that they got poison ivy and the itch was really badly unbearable and it started like on their arm or leg. Then as soon as the touched it and then touched another part of their body, that started to itch. So instead of one place that's unbearable itchy, your whole body can turn unbearably itchy for days. Just imagine sitting there for a few days shaking because your body is so itchy. It's best just to find something to do to occupy your time so that you don't think about it as much. They can be hard to ignore at night though. I talked to a person with a really bad foot rash and she said at night she couldn't sleep because the itch was so unbearably bad. But she fought it through and didn't scratch. It benefited her in the long run. You may also wake up in the middle of the night with an itchy rash. Mosquito bites are also bad to scratch. I've been woken up in the middle of the night with the itchy bites. When you scratch them, they itch more. So, if they itch like crazy, you scratch, the itch even crazier, you don't sleep. Yeah, they're not fun. Just find some cream to put on them and then ignore it.

Tanning will not help to remove stretch marks. It may make them harder to see and therefore make them look better, but it does not remove them. In fact, tanning over long periods of time would make stretch marks look worse.

Only if you work out and if you regularly use body cream

Yes you can get stretch marks on the breast, butt, thighs, etc. but you can easily remove by cocoa or pure olive oil. And try not to scratch you can create stretch marks.

Yes you can, I didn't need to go for an expensive surgery to remove the stretch marks that I had developed across my stomach post pregnancy. I was recommended 'Stretta' for getting rid of them and it worked amazingly well for me. In a months time, my stomach was clear of all the marks and the skin looked well toned.

Stretta works by gently removing the outermost layers of dead skin cells and nourishes deep within the skin, to remove unwanted, unsightly stretch marks and promote healthy cellular regeneration. It's ingredients are high-grade Glycolic Acid and medicinal botanical extracts specifically designed to minimize and even remove stretch marks, rebuild the skins structure and promote healthy skin rejuvenation.

Stretch marks are indications that means your muscle at any part of body is stretched. In woman it can be due to pregnancy. It's common in any age to have stretch marks. 15 is not too young a age. To get rid

It means rapid weight gain, but they do change color to white. Just apply some lotion daily to the marks to stop the itching and appearance.

People have stretch marks because they did not use a natural moisturizer such as coco butter, shea butter, castor oil, glycerin, or their skin each day during puberty, or pregnancy. It can be prevented, according to Dr. Franklin A. Rose, owner of Utopia MedSpa.

stretch marks occur because of rapid growth of the body, or weight gain/loss. In teens, girls get these reddish/purple lines because parts of their body are expanding or stretching. Areas include chest, hips and inner thighs. If you are really uncomfortable with them, use some bio oil, it helps them to fade, but they all fade natually over time to silvery lines which are barely noticable. xxx

Yes, I have agree with this answer. The stretch mark problem can be caused to rapid weight gain or weight loss. To get rid of this problem you have to try some natural remedies like aloe vera gel.
