    Default stretch marks

    i got a few in my biceps
    i never got them before but i think its due to the muscle mass increasing.

    anyways, how can i get rid of them? or atleast make them not
    noticable.

    thanks!

    I read they are caused by hormones decreasing the elasticity of the skin. Search online and you should find some creams that may help to a limited extent.

    Honestly you can't get rid of them.. I have them pretty bad in some areas and I will be wearing them for the rest of my life.. All thanks to my first bulking cycle.. But it was all worth it.

    theres cream u can buy to reduce the color of them but u can't get rid of them.. i have some on my arms and sides from losing weight.. they aren't as noticeable now but they will always be there..

    goto shoppers and ask where the stretch mark cream is.. its usually for pregnant women..

    were you guys supplementing crazy ( or using steroids?) and thats what allowed you too pick up mass fast enough to get stretch marks? Or was it just from working out naturally?

    Only one product has been scientifically proven to thicken skin and build collegen and that's Retin A.

    I have horrible stretch marks from pregnancy. I am only 4' 11" I had really long babies. This is the only thing that works.

    You can only get it by prescription...unless you go to Mexico!

    There is cream that will reduce the visibility of them and it works really well. You can get it from any motherhood clothing store or store that specifies in pregnancy. If you would be embrassed about going into a motherhood store pretend your buying it for your wife if that makes you feel any better.

    Very funny.

    on the stretch mark note. I had my babies 12 years ago, and I tried every cream on the market. I went to my dermatologist and they told me repeatedly told me Retin A and it does work. In time they fade from red to silvery colour naturally.

    You can help prevent them from using anything as basic as high grade olive oil. The creams they sell at the Bo bebe etc are for during pregnancy to help prevent them.

    They will be with you for the rest of your life.

    The redness will fade and eventually they will fade close to your natural skin color but with a somewhat shiney appearence.

    Creams and all that other shit will most likely not make a signficant difference however they may be worth a try. Everyone's skin is different.

    I am speaking from personal experience cuz I have severe stretch marks from highschool when gained 30lbs in 10 months withour growing an inch in height.

    I've got them on my back from growth spurts.. At times mine are red and noticeable and other times they are really white, not much has changed in the seven years i've had them.
