Ya, well, ive got alot of stretch marks, on the sides of my body, biceps, underarms, and other area's. Ive lost some weight since then, and im just wondering, if u lose weight, do they go away? Or what cna u do to get rid of them?

And , my arm is covered in these little raised red bumps. They are on both arms, and are usually very red. Making it embarsing to wear a t shirt, that shows my arm.

How can I get rid of those?


Thanks in advance

There is nothing that gets rid of stretch marks. Vitamin e will help make them fade, but they will never totally go away. As for the red bumps, I guess just use non allergenic lotion.

Actually the more weight you lose, the stretch marks could look worse, or you could see more of them. Vitamin e, cocoa butter help. They have new creams that are suppose to fade them until they are almost invisible, but I do not know anyone who has actually tried it. Also, endermologie is suppose to help with scars and stretch marks, but it is pretty expensive and only available in some areas. But, for the most part, stretch marks are just there. There really isn't anything proven to get rid of them that I have ever heard of.
As for the red bumps on your arms, I have them too although they are only red if I pick at them. Maybe ask your doctor next time you have an appointment if there is any kind of prescription topical treatment for them. Like retin-a or something. It may help. But, until then, hypoallergenic lotion should help.

Just wanted to say that I stumbled across this web site on behalf of my husbands cysts, but saw your problem and I have the same red bumps on my arms. The dr rx'd carmol 40 it has truly worked!! I don"t like how it feels but the results are better than they were!! Good luck!!
