Brusing, Stretch Marks, And Scars
Posted: 02-28-05 07:44am

I don't know if this is a skin disorder per se, but i'd like to know if there is something I can do to help one of these...Symptom? Bruising, stretch marks, and scars.

I don't know if i'm crazy for thinking there's something for bruising but it's work a try considering how sensitive (or health forum) my skin seems to be.

When I lost I don't know, 50 lb, they left me a nice good riddance present called stretch marks. Is there anything for this? Palmer's lotion for stretch marks has only given me minimal results.

And scars. I have some bad scars on my hand from uhh taking a cake out the over without a cooking mit, running into a wall, being dumb, etc. I'd really like something to make them fade, alteast.

Is there anything by prescription or over the counter that can help for any of these? Thanks.

For stretch marks, you usually want to apply something with vitamin e or cocoa butter is suppose to work. I know that there are also creams that are specifically for stretch marks. I know there's one for pregnant women to reduce their stretch marks after childbirth. As for scars, I know there are scar creams--the cheapest i've seen is about $10 at wal-mart. This should also work for stretch marks, I would think.

From what I know stretch marks dont go that easily.. And the never completely disappear.. But ive never tried cocoa butter so maybe its time I try it too.. Thanks for the advise..

Regardin burns.. Its best to apply something on it immediately after ure skin burns.. The effect is faster.. I suggest u get a cream for burns n always have it in handy at home...

Avon has a product for stretch marks. If you use as directed it will help
