How do you get rid of stretch marks? i feel like a giant stretch mark?

You shouldn't have pushed yourself so hard, so quickly. There's really nothing you can do. You're scarred by your own irresponsibility now. You're lucky you don't have worse injuries. Edit: Well, you need to go at your own pace and don't feel "outdone" or "less than" just because you are not taking steroids (or are you?), hormones, or taking care of yourself.

Aloe Vera Extract Aloe vera has been shown in clinical studies to have a positive effect on wound healing and holds anti-inflammatory properties. As stretch marks start out as microscopic tears in skin layers due to overstretching of the dermis, aloe vera helps heal these small wounds without causing scar tissue to form, effectively preventing the appearance of stretch marks. Aloe vera has been used for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Indians and Chinese to decrease the appearance of scars and to moisturize and heal skin. This extract from the aloe leaf protects skin from environmental factors and promotes skin regeneration. Grapefruit Seed Extract Grapefruit seed extract is a natural antibiotic used for many different types of skin ailments. It is a powerful ingredient to aid in the healing of skin damage.
