I have stretch marks under my arms (wings) and I can feel my arms getting smaller but this flab is still here and the marks seem to not be diminishing/fading. Sometimes, they seem even more red. What is going on?!??!?!!

Also, is there anyway to reduce the redness of the stretch marks?

    Stretch marks are actual scars. You'll never get rid of them, but you can buy products to conceal them better.

    What products would that be?

    I have them all over my stomach from pregnancies ... they do improve (fade to white) with time, but they never go away.

    the redness of any fresh scar can i many cases (at least my case) be reduced by sunlight, it worked for me, did not get rid of them but they sort of got bleached and hence less visible...

    I went to the dermatologist and got mine lasered. It worked really well, but it takes a while and you have to get them treated a ton of times before you see results. If you really want them to go away though, the laser treatments work!

    I have them from pregnancy on my stomach and legs and they do fade and get someone smaller. I am curious to see if there is a cream that works

    They just make me feel really self conscious when Im with my bf haha

    How much would lasering them be? it sounds like it would cost a lot.
