ive been using the vit. E religously for the past 3 months and i don't see any improvements with the stretch marks...

others said to try coconut oil I think it was and tanning to 'hide' them.

Pregnant women use cocoa butter. There's also some OTC medicine called mederma that's supposed to work. I got ridiculously deep stretch marks in my armpits linking smaller ones from my biceps to my chest this winter. Vitamin E didn't do shit. I was taking 2400iu a day for a while. They faded, but that was after a few months and I'm sure it would've happened anyway.

Damn...theres nothing to get rid of them. There on my stomach and cocoa butter works? And where would i get mederma to try it?

i really don't think there is jack shit you can do to get rid of stretch marks i went for 158 to 185 in 2 months and got bad ass ones on my pecs/armpit area and i have yet to get rid of them. i tried cocoa butter and that didn't work, good luck

wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's not so bad especially when they're new.

this excerpted from my response to same question awhile back:
( http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=239345&highlight=renova )

----------
For _Fresh _ stretch marks (red not white) lots of studies showing that Retin-A or Renova (tretinoin) makes them go away by growing and repairing the collegen and elastin. studies were mostly on New Mothers, but skin is skin (tretinoin is the only product approved for anti-aging apploication: wrinkles lines crows feet etc. its by script, but many of the sites that will sell viagra by online "consult" also sell retin-a/renova)

If old stretch marks (white) laser treatment (Vbeam which is non-invasive- can go to work same day) has been shown to improve or eliminate, but not as sure a thing as the retin-a on fresh marks.
---------

all this other crap (vit e, zinc ointment etc) will only provide some topical relief, softening etc.

Stretch marks are the result of tearing the skin's collegen/elatin network. The ONLY thing that will actually repair and rebuild that collegen/elastin is RETIN-A RETIN-A RETIN-A (generic name Tretinoin, with mosturizer called Renova). This is supported by Placebo double blind studies, not merely gym-lore.

BTW, are you sure these are stretch marks and not just excess skin that needs to tighten (the renova useful for this also by same mechanism)?

If stretch marks, they would be visible when you were growing the belly too.
