    OK. I hate this about me. I have lost weight in the past and doctors have said that is the reason for my stretch marks. They are very visible on both of my sides, a little on my arms, and the top of my back near my arms. Surgery simply is to expensive and not an option. Im not fat, but when I take my shirt off to go swimming or at the beach I am very very self conscious. Most of the time I keep a tank top on at the beach. I feel stupid doing that though. Its a big burden on my life. Please any help would be appreciated.

    Tokyo!
    I'd looked for any treatments for women who have just had babies. Stretch marks are a common post-pregnancy fact that cannot always be removed. Stretch marks from being fat are pretty much the same.

    Early treatment is better.

    Mederma or try Kelo-Cote 2 very good scars remover. I used Kelo Cote after a surgery and faded the scar big time.

    My friends wife used mederma after pregnancy and it faded her stretch marks to the point you cant really see them.

    Hope this helps you.

    Vitamin E and Aloe Vera both did wonders for my wife. You can get both in a Lotion type, but they are actually more like a sticky gel.

    Well, problem is these stretch marks are not new. I have had them for years. I have heard coco butter before, I tried that, but it didnt help at all. Mederma I have heard about before, so maybe I will try that now.

    I've heard that Bio Oil has done wonders for stretch marks and scars.
