How to get rid of stretch marks?

  • Oddly, i have stretch marks on my knees and hips... they're sort of pinkish... it just really sticks out since i have darker skin... is there anyway to get rid of them? and how do i prevent them?

  • Answer:

    stretch marks in general are usually when you gain weight/get pregnant. on your hips i can understand. your knees? not so much. definitely mederma would be a good product to use. they have stretch mark cream that i think is expensive but i hear works well. ( maderma? not sure about spelling). that or coco butter... that stuff is great too. make sure you stay in good shape to stay away from stretch marks.. but even people that are in great shape still have stretch marks, so it may just be inevitable. also, if you have darker skin because of race, (you didn't specify if you were of different ethnic background or you're just tan), then you may want to go see a doctor and ask them. if you're just tan.. and you fake n bake, then i highly suggest you stop. these are just my thoughts though. good luck!

Stretch marks are made from skin having to stretch to accommodate rapid growth or rapid weight gain. Stretch marks hard to remove once you get them but if you feel they are severe and they worry you, you could get them checked by your doctor at your next scheduled appointment. If they are sore or very discolored you could call the office where your doctor works and talk to them about it. If they are not that bad it is much easier to PREVENT stretch marks before they begin. You can apply a deep conditioning topical lotion with coco butter in it right to where they start to appear before they get worse. This helps the skin gain extra elasticity so it can stretch more without bruising and discoloring. Hope this helps!
