Ew….not cool!
so im noticing the stretch marks right in the are where my shoulder and chest connect…almost in the underarm crevice…not happy…ive been rubbing cream on it, but still not pretty…even moreso, not getting better……being the wik(ipedia) master that i am, i did some research…wik says that they are caused by rapid growth during bodybuilding or weight loss, causing stretching of the skin ….must be the growth, cause i have not lost anything and even still, if it is growth, im not that big…..wik also said they are attributed to steroid use…ive never touched a roid in my life..hell i can barely stand whey protein….i look like i do because of hard work and my genes!!! (thank you very much)…..anybody with any suggestions on how to get rid of them…..other than me getting a nice tattoo on both sides to cover them up…and what about the ones on my ass cheeks…ive heard that most black men have those….bruthas, is this true??

Hi there. Here is South Africa I buy a product which has the following ingredient: Tissue oil. And it really works.

Cocoa butter and shea butter are both supposed to be good for stretch marks. I’d recommend not using straight cocoa butter, though, as it is solid at room temperature and hard to use. Try talking to the sales rep at your local Body Shop or Bath & Body Works about products containing these ingredients. (I don’t work for either, but both are good quality and against animal testing, so I am happy to support them!)

this is proably a little late
but what helps
is to scrub the are with the stretch marks while in the shower until red
then after you get out
rub it with cocoa butter with vitamin E
what that does is
the rubbing rubs of the layer of epidermis
so when you rub the cocoa butter on it
it soaks in the dermis more where the marks are and fades it away with the growth of new skin
you have to do it alot but its what helped me with mine
