dianabolik -> how do you get rid of stretch marks ? (May 8 2008 23:28:43)
ive accumulated some stretch marks on my left bicep, it very noticable when i wear t-shirts ! I've tried putting some recommended oils on my arm but nothing has changed. I wouldnt be too bothered if they were the same colour as my skin and only shined in the light...but they're a red/pink colour and stand out [:@]

make up? putting oils on your skin won't reduce any red colouring, oils usually help to decrease likelyhood of getting them in the first place. I have them under the arm pit, they were red for a year then started to fade, they kind of blend in with the skin now, though still a little noticable.

my wife used http://www.bio-oil.info/en/home and it worked quite well for her, have you tried it before?

I believe Bio-oil may help with stretch marks. I did read somewhere that some people are more susceptable to stretch marks than others and certain parts of your body are more susceptable. I personally cannot see how you would get rid of the scarring/change in skin structure but you can certainly reduce the redness.

Nothing has worked for me, i have insane stretch marks all over my delts, back, arms, quads even my calves. Nothing has worked, i use cocoa butter as i have dry skin anyway, but it ahsent stopped new stretch marks developing. Ive gained 5 stone lean in two and a half years, and stretch marks come with the territory. I did ask my GP about it a while ago, he mentioned that asian people and those with darker skin genetically are more prone to stretch marks. Something to do with the skin having less of something.
