good post pride.. i have some on my chest but they're not very noticable cuz they're right by my armpits and i have them on my back too. just use vitamin e and exfoliate them often and they'll fade

Thanks, yeah I started getting them on my arm pits as well but no where else thank god. I need to start tanning more often. Oh well it just means I'm growing more :]

Greatness of a Strech Marks is measure of advance

I use Palmer's pregnancy cream. As mentioned before, they'll never fully go away. tanning will help them blend in a little bit more.

Yeah I tan and it definitely helps. I have what I call "bear claw" stretch marks on my inner thighs from being fat.. It straight up looks like a bear ravaged my thighs.. haha

Wheat Germ Oil Fortified with vitamin E if rubbed on twice a day will get rid of most scars within a year. Laser treatment also helps; you can buy them on the internet or from some medical suppliers. The laser should have a wavelength 660-680NM.

When my first stretch mark came up I was rather doing a party then ripping him out.

P.S like pride said where them with pride bro (not with Hawaiian but with Pride)

Well actually...scars interrupt your sympathetic nervous system, which can lead to any number of ailments. But hey, if you dig them, that's cool.

**HawaiianPride.** · 09-02-2009, 05:54 PM

I never knew stretch marks could do that, I thought it was scars left from heavy surgeries or injuries, not naturally occurred scars.

Famine · 09-02-2009, 09:29 PM

Ahh...good catch. This is about stretch marks, after all. The term "scars" kept getting tossed around so it lodged in my mind. If it's just a natural stretch mark without tearing, then that shouldn't hurt you...and I don't think that actually classifies as a scar.

That said, if the OP wants to get rid of them, or lessen them, try what I said above.

**HawaiianPride.** · 09-02-2009, 11:55 PM

Still, food for thought for the viewers being that those kinds of scars do cause blind damage.

Reason why we get stretch marks is because our muscles grow at a rate to fast for our skin to stretch so the rate of collagen synthesis is to slow and stretch marks appear. There is no natural way to remove them they can be less noticable by moisturising with the above mentioned creams or tanning but dont believe some myth product. Also be proud your growing to fast for your skin bro
