God damn Stretch marks!

Why won't these damn things stop growing? After I did my first cycle, I blew up like a bear.. it was great.. no stretch marks.. a few months after they started to appear so I thought I should use Vit-E gel.. it helped reduce the redness of them but they STILL grew.. and are continuing to grow even after a cutting cycle.

I find them sick, I know most would say "battle scares" but I dont look at them that way. The worst which I can't bare are under my arms and along my biceps. I got a river flowing down each arm and the branch off into little rivers.

Will tanning hide them ALOT?.. it's at certain anlges(lightening) which they dont look bad at all.. but with alot of light they look like shit. I'll get as dark as I can if I need to hide these suckers.. but will it work? I mean hiding the majority of the redness?

I wish I had a little extra skin..

Thanks for letting me let some steam out :)
 
I got one right by each armpit. Been there for about 2.5 months. I think they are kinda cool. They feel weird to the touch.:)
 
bro, had the same problem. As long as you keep growing faster than your skin can adapt, your stretchies are just gonna bigger and deeper red. after awhile when your bodyweight evens out, you'll notice the redness go down.

One word of advice: Don't use retin-a. That shit is unbearable. i tried it and basically it's like a chemical peel....that shit hurts like hell after a couple weeks.
 
I've leaned out alot since my first cycle, but they still grow? I dont understand my body.

I want to do a bulking cycle shortly, but I'm afraid I'm gonna rip the shit out of skin and by doing so, increase the size of them.. and I dont want to do that :) I wanna play it safe...

What should I do..?!
 
ive got the same problem as you buddy. Mine are dirty red lines running across my biceps, forearms and Under my armpits.

does anyone know if the stretch marks turn white or will they always be red??

They turn white when they stop growing and they stop growing when your skin stops stretching out.

Look, your total body mass is getting larger. Even though you may have leaned out, youre probably putting on more size in the problem areas like your arms and armpits, etc. As long as you keep growing faster than your skin can adapt to the new growth, your strecth marks will continue to grow.

What causes the armpit stretch marks, is it the triceps or the lat?

I think it's general thickening of the shoulder girdle and upper arms, ala delts bi's and tri, and maybe to a lesser degree the traps
 
chest, i have the worst stretch marks any of u will ever have.. so dont complain.. mine came from a major growth spurt there on my lower back.. they started out like deep red gashes ( i grew like 4 inches in 2 months something crazy like that) and time is the best cure..
 
hey bud, try using some moisterizer when you get out of the shower, esp in the areas where you get the stretch marks. if your skin is real dry you will be more prone to getting them. lay it on thick in those areas. take some vitamin e as well. you can prob find some shit to make them go away, look it up, ask your doc.
peace,
docv
 
Wear them with pride. Otherwise, if they are still red there are some laser therapies. Once they got white you may try to hide them tanning or using Retin A, but they will be always there
 
They're a badge of honor for hard work (although not everyome gets them)

flame all you want for this but hey bro, use fuck,damn, shit, asshole but not god damn. come on man you have to have some sort of morals.
 
Ya, most just cope with it.
Vit E oil does work but Coca Butter oil and lotion is the Best. Do a search on the net you can find lots of places to order, and check you local spa treatment stores.

actually my mom used soap in my mouth not vit E or coca butter oil

:p :p :p ;)
 
Some people are simply more prone to scaring, plastic surgery can reduce certain scars, but it is touchy for a patient that is “scare sensitive” anyway.

Lasers will not work on an area that large, Dermabrasion will work for some patients, it is very subjective and delicate.


Good luck
 
I dont know of anyone that has successfully gotten rid of them, i think they show more based on your skin color.

I've had them for years now and the color just faded to white a couple months ago, makes them harder to see but they're still there, Cocoa butter lotion helped a lot but I stopped when i couldn't resist licking the lotion.... mmmm... cocoa... but anyway, they will become lighter with time. I just got 2 new ones today, both about 4 inches long on each shoulder from doing immense seated rows for the first time in months :)
