those arent bad at all man... but the one thing i wonder is why they are located in the specific spot???? i would suggest to keep your body constantly moisturized... everytime you shower make a habit of using a good vitamin E lotion.. this will increase elasticity in your skin.. but there is nothing you can really do to make those go away or really prevent them.. but you can prepare for them by doing the above.. coco butter also works really well.. i would necessarily use it on the whole body just on parts where you think are mostly prone to get stretch marks.. as far as those stretch marks are concenred i wouldnt really worry about them.they look very new, the redness will go away in due time..

yes that is new.. stretch marks take lots of time to cure.. its something you just have to deal with.. stop being a smart ass..

they dont cure at all...
the best thing to do is keep the skin elastic by using lotion every day just like serbmarco said

my bad i used the wrong term.. they dont cure but they do become more adaptable to look at.. when they are fresh.. say a year or less.. they are red and almost look bloody.. that goes away with time and tanning helps speed the process... for example.. the first stretch marks i got were like his.. now they are almost white in color and blend into my skin better..

this is dumb but is it bad if i don't have any stretch marks? being an ectomorph means slow progress i guess...

serbmarko · 10-10-2005, 02:44 PM

any over the counter Vitamin E will do just fine.. also talk to your doctor and ask for retin-A if you can get it.. go for it..

no its not bad if you dont have stretch marks.. it doesnt have to mean that you arent gaining muscle.. it could simply be due to your genetic structure of skin.. take for example pregnant women... we all know it takes 9 months before she has the kid.. so they are all basically on the same playing feild as far as gains are concerned.. but youll see some women with a ton of stretch marks and some with none.. just depends on your skin.. you should be thankful you dont have any.. just reduces the "to worry about list" thats all..

i dont see the big deal w/ having stretch marks. some ppl show off their stretch marks. im not sayin to do that, i just dont see why its such a big deal. to be honest, urs arent bad at all.
