i noticed 3 weeks ago right on myouter chest(under the arm pit area), wondering the same thing.

i ahve heard coco butter works but i dont think they will completely go away
tanning will also help hide em

There are stock piles of threads across the net on this topic, titled exactly the same! In a NUTSHELL!! YOU CAN'T GET RID OF THEM PERIOD! Get use to them actually... I've read some cases of guys getting them on their knuckles... Mmmm... Weird Right?? I use coco butter. ...BUT only to help prevent mine from getting worse and starting up elsewhere.
Before I got in this game I had them naturally from lifting from my outter pec to the top of my biceps. After the gear got in my system those bitches streeeeetchhh down to my elbows!!!
So by some type of cream and apply that shit before working out, night time, whatever! And tanning is your only hope of fading those bastards! BUT YOU CAN'T GET RID OF THEM PERIOD!!

Wellbilt is right. There's really nothing you can do about stretch marks. There's not even a plastic surgery that can deal with them. I've got them on my ass from when I was a 36" waist. And I was only like that for about two years. Tanning does help.

Be proud of 'em! Try rubbing liquid vitamin E on them - it may help in not letting them get worse...but if they do, be happy because you are still growing.

 

[fergie]

maybe a dumb question but whatever, where do you get coco butter?

Vitamin E works but the best is a mederma type med. Docs perscribe it to pregnant women so they don't get stretch marks. Most docs are understanding and will write the script no problem

Palmers stretch mark cream! You can get it just about any grocery store. I went to Walmart to get some groceries one night cause it was the only place open and they have it for CHEAP (like 2.50 a bottle). It's got vitamin E, cocoa butter, and collagen & elastin (which actually helps repair stretch marks over LONG periods of time). I haven't gotten any new ones since I started using it.

Actually, someone told me that Retin-A actually assists in the smoothening of stretch marks too. Now smoothening doesn't necessarily entail the dissapearance of stretch marks/scarring but smoothening is one of the factor into making the marks less visible, thus will reduce the skin pigmentation abit.

I love my stretch marks it's a good sign of growth and change and that's always good IMO.

if they r red.. use retin -A.. Get it from a doctor.. if they have already healed and are white.. there is little you can do beside lazer..

like the guys have said..

deal with them..

For scars, vitamin E cream and aloe (and some sun) are the best remedy, but I was never able to get rid of scars completely - but they add character...expecially the 12 stitch scar I have between my eyes...

Indeed. I got a tube of Retin-A from an online pharmacy. Its .1% strength. Its bascially Accutane cream. It speeds up your skin production by something like 6 times the normal rate so your skin will shed and produce new layers very quickly. I use the shit for stretch marks and any kind of skin thingy that I want to leave very quickly.
