Stretch Marks
    #6926881 -

I have grown WAY too fast and now have stretch marks all along the bottom of my back. They aren't too bad, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to combat them. Everywhere I look says that they are permanent unless you get them lasered off (fuck that). I really hope this isn't true, I want happy skin.

There are a variety of creams out there that are said to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.  Other than that time may fade them. :shrug:

Vitamin e is sapposed to help reduce stretch marks if they are fresh and kinda purple in color, but if they are the white faded ones(that kinda look like scars to me) theyre gonna be there for life... i have a bunch on my lower back, like you.

Its kind of strange, but I have stretch marks on the inside of both of my knees. Not very noticeable but its weird as hell!

Cocoa butter and shit with vitamin cream will marginally reduce the appearance, imho. I'm dark skinned and the REALLY bad, purple ones are definitely nasty. Fortunately, vitamin e infused cocoa butter usually makes them fade away a bit quicker. It's well worth rubbing on after a shower, especially if you're just going to bed after.

I have them all over due to working out. I now have them, amazingly, in the MIDDLE of my upper back because I'm getting so large. Shit. Biceps, triceps, shoulders, legs, ass... I wouldn't be surprised if my calves and forearms have stretch marks that I just haven't noticed!!

You should try taking some tyrosine and tan for a month or so, if you're not against indoor tanning. I do it sporadically because again, shit like this really helps. And I'll take any hand out no matter how small.

You should be able to find Swedish Bitters in most health food stores. Apply with a cotton ball. For especially bad areas, soak a thin cloth in the liquid, lay it on your skin and then apply a layer of kitchen sandwich wrap over it -- use first aid tape to hold the wrap in place. Leave on overnight and remove in the morning.

Feel free to continue with lotions and creams but Swedish Bitters works faster. It won't completely eliminate the mark but it will remove the redness/purpleness and help them fade. It's also not likely to irritate any other skin conditions and may even improve them. To be certain, try a small test patch before applying to larger areas.

Yea... I honestly don't think that any natural supplements will help. If you want a sure way to remove them then I suggest you talk to a plastic surgeon. I got a bunch on my biceps and back.
