OT:Stretch Marks?

[Mojo Jojo]

Ok this is a weird question to ask, but I've been getting some stretch marks on my arms right on my biceps area. Most sites say that I should drink water, eat the right things, etc. Ok well since diet and exercise are not doing it for me, why not try lotions? Has anybody ever used any lotion against this?

This is what I used to recomend when I worked retail. Of course is was usually for women, your not a girl are you?

Haven't you ever seen an obese man? They have stretch marks everywhere. Try vitamin E oil.

Coconut Lotion also works well from what I hear.

Strivectin makes a cream for this but it is rather expensive. I think $135.00

It is suppose to work wonders.

My wife says that Cocoa Butter works. She has had 3 kids and has no stretch marks.

go with the coconut my girl put it on a couple times a day and not one stretch mark

keep your skin moist .they sell a cocobutter cream that is made just for stretch marks . I believe it is called "stretch marks " . it is thicker than regular coco butter . I bought it at wal-mart when I was pregnant .

My suggestion is to man up! I can't believe you posted this in a public forum.... I promise I will never let you live this down.....

 

[Mojo Jojo]

Thanks Everyone! I was worried they would not leave

little_squid - It makes me feel weird too.

Aiko - Sometimes its good to drop the "Macho" look and admit you need help.

Tell people they're old scars from street fighting...... second thought: the shirt suggestion.

I had a friend that used a appedix scar as a stab wound story.

if you're getting them around your biceps, it's probably from lifting - very normal when your muscles grow at a rapid pace. ive heard (from a friend that works for plastic surgeons) that the lotions, cremes, etc mostly help due to the massaging of the skin that takes place, preventing the scar tissue from forming - which is what stretch marks are and why plastic surgeons cannot reliably remove them.
