Stretch Marks
Posted: 10-26-04 06:00am

This page says acne and skin disorder, so that's the best place I could think to post this.

I've been overweight a long time and I have terrible stretchmarks all around my stomach, upper thighs and arms. Is there really no way at all to get rid of them? Some are red and some are white.

I've seen creams in the stores that claim to reduce them. They are expensive and I wondered if any of you knew which if any worked.

Plus, i'm not against cosmetic surgery to get rid of the little buggers. Is there such a procedure?

I also have a lot of stretch marks, and have tried some of the less expensive remedies, such as cocoa butter...The only thing it did was make me want to puke (it smells bad). I'm sure there are probably plastic surgery techniques that could get rid of stretch marks, but I don't know what they are.
