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)

    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.
