maybe somewhat of a hijack but thought i would save another thread...

has anyone ever woke up one morning and noticed a new bright red or purple stretch mark, almost looking like a bruise, or do they seem to occur slowly over time? i've had stretch marks ever since i can remember(since weight training anyway) but i've only noticed these kinds pop up in the last year or so. the color goes away in about a week and they look like a normal stratch mark.

if i use something with a shoulder pad at the gym i'll get what looks like little scratch stretch marks on my shoulders. they go away in about a week. it honestly depends on the person how fast they show up and stay and all that BS... i started doing thors hammer for my forarms and fascia stretching my biceps and i seriously got a shit load of them in a week. fucking sucks!!!

wow thats exactly what i get. they pop up on my shoulders, and come to think of it, it may start after leg day. btw, i do use a shoulder pad for squats.

I hate stretch marks and am wondering what is the fastest way to get rid of them. Anybody try any products? I've been using bio oil but it's not helping yet.

coco butter helps alot and is affordable.

i'm not quite sure you could consider them stretch marks though. I think it's a combination of your traps flexing naturally under the weight of the pads and what not. more like a irritation or indention of something. possibly a t shirt!? i've never noticed them anywhere else on my body. just my traps.

I get stretch marks on my shoulders when I take a cycle. When I am off the cycle the marks go away after a little time. I also used to have a big stretch marks where my chest and belly meet cause I used to have a big gut. However, it to went away but it took a year or so. Mabey it depends on your age whether they go away or not. I do not know.

Retin-A / Renova​

studies to support significant reduction in red stretch marks (not mature) -- less effective for older white stretch marks

the mechanism is as Tat said is collagen-based
-

also some buzz but dont recall if there were studys) about non-ablative non-invasive lasers like v-beam.

like the retin-a the laser treatment will stimulate accelerated local production of collagen/elastin.
