There has to be some sort of cream I'd imagine. Having them on the arms is a lot better than the stomach area. With all the hard work I've done, even on my now flat stomach I have reminders of the belly I once had.

cocoa butter body cream can help prevent stretch marks...don't scratch your arms and keep them from getting dry with lotion.

Stretch marks are from your size increasing too fast. They are deep in the skin, so nothing you put on the top of your skin will affect them - eg creams/lotions etc. The only thing you can do to prevent them is to gain more slowly, to give everything time to adjust.
