recently gained so much. ... now stretch marks

fashiongal88

Now my recent weight gain has become serious. I just saw 2 fresh stretch marks. At 163 lbs (5'10"), this is the highest weight I've ever been. I feel so unattractive.

Any advice on what to do with fresh stretch marks? And how to prevent new ones from forming?

Covered in stretch marks. I used a bottle of Elastin3 and they went away. (No Photoshop in this photo, only lighting)

Yeah, honestly, I thought her profile pic was a high definition rendering of a video game character when I first saw it, haha.

Moisturize your skin and try using cocoa butter (the kind that comes in a stick).

If the stretch marks are brightly colored - red, pink, or purple - go have a checkup by your doctor, because colored stretch marks is one (of many) symptoms of a problem.

Does it get rid of the deep stretch marks or only small red ones? From my teenage years, I have so many deep white stetch marks from a growth spurt.

My new stretch marks are red and hopefully won't develop into the deep ones.

I used the cream on fresh, bright read stretch marks. It'll work on all marks, but the fresher they are, the better results you'll get.
