Insane Stretch Marks

[~ThaGame~]

I have the biggest stretchmarks and they keep appearing, what the hell can i do to prevent this? i used to only have them under my arms, in my armpit area...no big deal then.
after hitting a cycle in june and now starting another one, they have gotten out of control. i have them under my arms, on my triceps, at the top of my biceps, huge thick red ones in the cuff of my shoulder, and i'm starting to get them on the peak of my biceps.
when i do over the head dumbell presses, it literally looks like i have red spagetti strings under my skin.
i heard retin A works? anything else, stronger than that?

I rub oil over the parts of my body that are prone to stretch marks. I apply the oil directly after each shower. I want to say Quadsweep had a post about this quite a while back with a similiar method. Not totally positive about this. Maybe he will reply to this post or you could shoot him a PM.

i know what you mean, i have wicked bad marks on the insides of my upper arms and around my armpits. my pasty ass white complexion does not help the situation much tho. i bought this crap called vita-k its for women after they have kids to help with stretch marks, but i think it works better for "freshly" made marks, mine are pretty dam old so i don't know how much it will help. if you are getting new ones maybe something like that would work good for you.

laser treatment at some speicailist..... well here is what i do.....i tan/use cocoa butter/ vit E(lotion) and then mederma..(just started mederma)

ask your dr about retin A....not OTC.....works for acne and wrinkles too......good shit....but dries out ur skin

Cocoa butter is used to prevent stretch marks. Mederma may help fade existing stretch marks. I know microdermabrasion works well for older stretch marks. It is important to be very hydrated. I had two kids and gained 45 and 50 lbs with each pregnancy. I drank a LOT of water and used cocoa butter and do not have any stretch marks at all.

yeah i got some retin A from a friend of mine, its almost out though. comes in a little package and i use like 1/4 of it in one shot.
i was thinking about getting a tanning membership, that would at least hide them.
thanks for the replies bros

retin A helps in FADING old ones but unfortunately if you spread it too much in actually aids in causing more stretch marks due to drying otu the skin sorry to say
