i think there has been a post like this in the female discussion area, and the people there seemed to swear by vitamin E cream.

Hey I got stretch marks after I stopped working out for a few months. I started up again, but alot of people told me to use vitamin E cream, cocoa butter, or any other kind of moisterizing cream to get rid of them. I used cocoa butter then switched to vitamin E. They both worked fine but cocoa butter gives off a strong smell that you might not want. They take time to get rid of but that should help.

Try using a lotion that contains retinol. Retinol works by removing the surface layers of the skin, so basically while it won't make your strecth marks go away, it will minimize their appearance.

you also have to know that it depends on the size of the strich marks......small stetch marks can be lighten up with all the lotions that are posted above .....thick and big stretch marks will not go away....when you loss any weight that skin is going to sag that is why so many people get tummy tuck...........

Iam sorry to hear that you were raped, I pray for you. This is a cruel cruel world I know I have had my fair share of bad things. My brother for one and most was just recently diagnosed as terminally ill.

I am truely sorry for your horrible situation but I have some bad news stretch marks never go away you may temporarily be able to reduce the appearance of them but they never ever "go away" sorry its just a medical fact. Good luck

I HAVE STRETCH MARKS SO DEEP IN ON MY STOMACH I CAN'T SEEM TO GET RID OF THEM NO MATTER WHAT I USE. I'M SO EMBARRASED BY THEM. I'M ASHAMED OF EVEN UNDRESSING IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND AND WE BEEN MARRIED FOR 5 YEARS. HE KEEPS ASKING ME WHY DON'T I UNDRESS IN FRONT OF HIM. I TELL HIM I DO BUT ONLY ALL THE TIME I HAVE GRANDMA PAINTYS ON AND THATS SO SHAMEFUL. I WANT HIM TO SEE ME AS BEAUTIFUL AND SEXY BUT I KNOW THAT WILL BE HARD TO DO IF I DON'T EVER GET RID OF THESE UGLY SCARS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR ANY LASER SURGERY I'M NOT SO FORTUNATE.
