What should I do about stretch marks?

What to do about stretch marks, and love life?

  • OK, I have this really embarrassing problem that really destroys me self-confidence. I am a 20 year old male and have stretch marks on my arms and stomach. I’ve had them since I was 16. Partly due to puberty and partly due to the fact I gained weight. When I entered college I weighed 235lbs and decided to work out in hopes to get smaller. As of now I’m at 190 and going down. Regardless, I still have stretch marks. I know from countless internet searches that there is no permanent way of getting rid of them. I need some advice on treating them. It hurts me psychologically very much. See, I’m smart a 4.0 student and want to be confident. I’m pretty good looking otherwise. I think girls like my face at least; when I smile at them they smile back. I’ve been really hesitant to ask a girl out my whole life though because I’m worried about what they will think. For the most part people don’t know that I have them, and they are white and not even visible from a distance and in certain lights. It’s really a texture issue. It just does not seem fair. Some days I feel like killing myself, though I wouldn’t tell anyone that. I don’t want to be a downer for anyone and it’s just not me to be that way. I just want to be all I can be for someone. Ladies, what do you think about this? Could you sincerely fall in love with a guy with stretch marks?

  • Answer:

    I was very depressed about my stretch marks because they made me feel 10yrs older. I tried everything except laser because of $700 tag per treatment and nothing worked. Finally I opted for microdermabrasion that's also expensive if done professionally, but I found the way to do it myself at home. I got pre-made microdermabrasion paste for stretch marks that contains raw coco butter, raw shea butter, vitamin e and some other oils good for scarred tissue and medical crystals which don't need machine because they are larger in size. I scrubbed with this paste stretch marks every time I took a shower for the whole last month and they reduced in size 50% (I measured couple big ones with ruler) so far I'm pretty satisfied with results. Just google medical crystals to find this stretch mark rub.

Hell yes I could and I have fallen for a guy with stretch marks! I didn't even notice them until he pointed them out. I have some bad ones on my thighs too and he never noticed them. To be honest, once the initial revelation has happened girls just accept marks like that as just another part of you. They'll be focusing on things like your personality and how you make them feel more than what you look like naked - and hopefully naked they'll be too distracted by other things to care about your stretch marks even if you were cover in them face to toe ;) If you want to help the texture try coco butter creme. Just ask for it in any drug store (Superdrug, Boots etc) and they'll know what you mean. Or talk to a pharmacist and see if there're any specific creams etc they recommend. It won't get rid of them but it can improve the look and feel.
