Q: Stretchmarks treatment
asked by: Kay92 on June 20th, 2008

I'm 16 and I'm thin 115lbs and 5'2. I have stretchmarks on my hips, upper thighs, and my gastrocnemious (lower back part of the leg) area. Sad Palmer's Cocoa butter cream dosn't seem to be helping. As I used almost three bottles of them the appearance looks the same. I want something that would help me reduce the appearance of them. I already know they cant go away completly Crying or Very sad . Please give me anything. Excersisse, better creams, advice, true experience. w.e.

They will naturally become lighter and lighter until they are a silvery skin color. No amount of cocoa butter or cream is going to change them. Sorry.

My stretchmark color is lighter than my current skin color (like cocoa butter color), and I doubt is gonna become silver. My skin color is dark complexed like milk chocolate. I've heard people say to tan my skin so it can become less apparent but I'm too dark to get tan.

Hi Sweetie! Me Fairy*Godmother
Worth a long shot, as this has helped to deminish the ones I've aquired. I never got the first one pregnant, but got them as I aged in boob area and a few on hips. Go to a dollar store and buy capsules of vitamin E. I take two of these caspules, bust it and mix it with 2 tablespoons of shea butter and 1 tablespooon of vaseline. Its a bit messy, but the concoctuion when rubbed in, after weeks has made mine appear less noticable. Rub this in different directions each application. Also in circular motions. This is great on feet too, before going to bed and wear socks! Yep, hit the big 51 in 10 days, but my skin would never tell it! Hope this works for you! Good luck!

One of my friends recommended Mederma. It's for scars, but they said that it worked for their stretch marks as well. Once my baby is out, I plan on trying it. Smile
