Stretch Marks
Posted: 07-02-07 13:39pm

So I have had two children, the youngest being 9 months, and boy did him and I do a number on my belly and sides. I had a few from my daughter but nothing that didn't fade and wasn't too noticeable, like just above the pelvic area. So, does anyone have any remedies to help reduce appearance. I would love any advice....
Thanks

Unfortunately from everything I have heard, nothing much works. Shea butter or cocoa butter seems to be the best bets.

I think they do naturally fade with time, but I heard that creams with cortisol can help. You could see a dermatologist. They would give you unbiased advice on whether any products are actually going to make a difference.

I found that when my hips grew etc that vitamin E cream and gel worked a bit, I can't really see them anymore. Also helps with spot scars, in fact all scars!
