Strech marks How to get rid of strech marks!

Submitted by Katarina

When you get strech marks they might at first be a red or a purple color, if its that color it means you still have a chance of removing them.

You just need some egg whites with which you rub onto your strech marks with a good layer on your skin, then wait about 15 or 20 mins untill it is completely dry, then wash is off with icey cold water.

Unfortunatly strech marks that have already turned white can not be removed.

tried and tested Comments By: loren i have had strech marks since i was about 12 i am now 18 and over the years i have tried everything to remove my marks i dont know how i ended up with these marks as when i got them i was a skinny little 12 year old and even now i am not really fat or over weight so im guessing its just as i developed quickly they really do get me down as i cant go swimming or wear the clothes i really want to. over the past few month i have noticed they have become worse and i seem to be getting even more i have them on my brests, my hips,the tops of my arms and all the way from the top of my legs to below my knees. i really would appreciate any help or tips on how to remove the apperance of my marks as i am getting really desparate now!! plz help!   WHY Comments By: celia I THINK THAT WHY DON'T WHITE ONE'S COME OUT. CUZ MINE'S ARE ALREADY WHITE TAT'S WHY I AM SO P**T OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!1   Okay Comments By: Sara I don't know if it will help fade the stretch marks, I know it will tighten the skin on the breast and make them shrink a bit temperarly. Rub vitamin E on your stretch marks and after a while they will start to fade. I've also heard that vitamin K fades scars, undereye circles and stretch marks. I have been skinny all my life, and would consider myself underweight and I have stretch marks. Im to tired to explain why we get them though.   Bike problem Comments By: anon I started school high school again and since I live so close to the school i can't go on bus so I ride my bike. Supposedly if you ride ur bike in a slouched position u start getting them and thats what happened to me   im only 16 Comments By: marie i recently just started gettin strech marks about 2 months ago and im only 16 it really sucks cause i go 2 flordia every spring break&now im ashamed 2 go this year i prolly wont now but i use 2 run every night cause i lived out in the county &i moved about 2 months ago into town... i think it might be cause i dont run anymore i mean im skinny and i dont c y this has 2 happen it makes me soo pissed off my mom is getting me some stuff i hope it works but yea sorry everyone else   oh no Comments By: linda i have always had strech marks since i was a kid, i guess i grew too quick, but recently i lost my job amd have gaines some weight. i just notices i go a nice size pach on the bottom of my stumic that are new. im flippin!!! im going to get some coco butter and try the egg white thing   stretch marks suck Comments By: manda im only 15 years old and i will be 16 in less than a month i have tried palmers for stretch marks and everythin undert he sun i really want to get rid of them im not over weight i hate them im wondering if the egg white thing really works? does any one know? please tell me thanks a bunch   VERY ITCHY STRETCH MARKS Comments By: JOSHUA GONZALEZ MY STRETCH MARKS STARTED TO SHOW UP WHEN I WAS 17.. NOW IM 19.. I HAVE THEM AT MY BACK AND MY ASS.. HEHEHE.. BUT THEY'RE NOT THAT BAD.. THEY'RE JUST KINDA ITCHY FROM TIME TO TIME.. I WILL TRY THAT EGG WHITE THING   strech marks !!!!!!!!!!!! Comments By: Anon i feel so happy that i am not the lone person having strech marks...im 21 and started having these marks when i was 15...got it around mi butts and breast..i wish i could get rid of these marks atleast on mi breast..they look horrible...hope it doesn't turn a guy off!!   luv ya anyway Comments By: John I can't speak for all men, but strech marks don't bother me at all. I'm looking online for a cure because my wife has strech marks that bother her a lot. She is thin and fit (110 lbs) and always has been, and hers also appeared when she was very young. Anyway, point is that they bother her a lot but I don't even notice them. If your man loves you, your strech marks wont bother him either!   Stretch marks are forever Comments By: Jessica Sorry everyone, but stretch marks are forever. It is the skin stretched out, and it doesn't go back. It's not like when the skin stretches from being fat, that skin bounces back, this is skin that has been stretched very quickly, and if you look at the mark, you can see that the elasticity in that part of the skin is gone. Like when an elastic band is stretched and won't go back, same thing. Good thing is that they fade with time, they get kind of whitish, and they aren't so noticable. Just keep putting the lotion on to keep your skin elastic, so if you do have a growth spurt or a weight gain, your skin may be more flexible and stretch out without making a stretch mark. Don't bother witht he egg white thing, it will make your skin feel firmer for a short period of time, but won't take the stretch mark away. Also, if a guy cares about you, he won't be that freaked out. Us girls are way harder on ourselves than guys are (unless the guy is a total jerk and thinks every girl should be a size 2, and who wants to be with that guy anyway?). Don't be so hard on yourselves that you miss out on having fun by hiding or not participating because of a stupid stretch mark. Guys like girls who are confident and can have fun in spite of things like that. Look at all the guys on the beach, they don't seem to mind their beer bellies.   i hate strech marks Comments By: elvira i'm glad i'm not the only one havin this problems..well i know this might sound bad but i got pregnat at 13 had my beautiful daughter at 14 i'm 16 now but i have really bad strech marks they are white n i hope thats not true that u cant get rid of white marks cuz if so i dont kno what to do but go insane i got marks every where on my legs,thighs,stomach,arms,breast it's so bad i mean i cry everyday because i am afraid of what other people might think bout me and i also start cryin because i know i cant wear the clothes i wanna wear and i'm always hiddin my skin i've tried everything ....and if anyone wants to talk bout this i'm willin to listen n talk bout it or if anyone has answers plz write me   i am 33 and have stretch marks since im 19 Comments By: sladana i got stretch ,marks from pregnecy and i want to get rid of them,, is there anything for my stretch marks.

Well first of all it is NASTY second STINKY and third does not work . Please save yourself the upset and dont try it!   baby blues Comments By: julia i recently had a baby 5 and a half months ago and my stomach looks awful! i am almost to my prepragnancy weight, but i will never be able to wear a bikini again. does that egg whit thing really work cause i cannot afford to get that expensive stretch mark cream and if so how long does it take and how often do you have to do it.   I HATE STRETCH MARKS Comments By: Lady i have stretch marks in my butt and some in my breast the ones in my butt are lookin horrible i want to get rid of them i tried a lot of things and it aint working somebody please help me and email me and tell me how to get rid of them im 17 and i got them since i was like 13 I HATE THEM!   The Truth Comments By: B Ok I know everyone has a different say in strech marks but I've benn to a doc and this is what happends strech marks are caused from alot of different reasons EVEN STRESS! But strech marks do go away! your skin is growing and needs to make more room. The doc says that everyone gets them some may not be able to see them but you have them dont worry as your body grows and your skin gets bigger and as your body expands and grows it will get the marks but as your skin gets to a state of normal the marks will get lighter and soon fade away for sum your skin is different and the marks become WHITE and they will stay white but tanning does help the marks become the color of your skin due to the fact that your skin fragmints are changing and they need to change all together back to a normal color so dont be sun shy! And using lotion works well too!   Why Me Comments By: Anon I am only 14 years old and i noticed small red lines on my stomach then they became bigger doi now have 2 long lines of them. i loved swimming but i dont no if i will ever go swimming again. These have really ruined my life TipKing says: I do not think that you should have strech marks at your age. Have a chat with your doctor! Might be something else.   I HATE STREch MArks Comments By: ginger Ok im 15 and im 5"3 and weight 125 pounds. Thats not huge or anything. And the past ear i got strech mars on my butt, inner thighs, and brests. I can see getting them on my breasts cause im a D at my age but the rest? Im going to try the egg white thing. Tax for the tip. Plz help   I HATE THEM! Comments By: Evergreen I have heard you can use olive oil. Im not sure if it works but its worth a try.

But recently bought some loreal anti stretch mark cream which really toned them down has alot in it and does not cost a fortune. My stomach has since got much better. But they are still there, like alot of you i got them after the birth of my first son and have them breasts belly loads thighs and legs. I think laser treatment maybe the only cure.   help Comments By: someone hey i have heard that cocobutter helps get rid of them but im not sure. right now i am in the process of doing it its only been 3 days but i put it every were and everyday.   bio oil + sunbed Comments By: HAYAT bio oil is really good you can get it from boots, i got strech marks from pregnancy and i used this for 5 weeks and it makes such a difference get lots of sit ups to tight your stomach and go on sun bed for 3-4 times a week for 3 weeks and you will be greatfull i gave you this info, for best results use 1-2 times a day (bio oil) after a hot bath or shower. and after going on sun beds for 10min only use jhonsons body lotion. YOU WILL LOOK GREAT, TRUST ME   i hate them red ugly marks Comments By: naledi well first of all i hate them marks ive had them since i was 14 now iam 16 n still have them they are gettin bigger and reder by the days go by i have them in my thights,breast,stomach,arms,and lower back ive tried everythin nothin works thanks 4 the egg tip im goin to try it but if anyone has info on how to get rid of them 4sure please tell me im ancious to get rid of them.......   HATE THEM Comments By: BRYAN PUTZ Yeah iam glad iam not the only one who has them because they are annoying.I guess i will use the coco butter treatment and some other topical creams.I hope they also work on pimples because i have that problem too.Its like a grease factory   from my own experence Comments By: angel i got my strech marks when i was 13 or 14. They started out a redish purple also. Ive tried the coco butter it does help but it doesnt make them go away i have tried others methods. My mother got them from having children and they were also redish purple. The best way my mother and i have found to help reduce the apperence is to use lotion and to exercise that will tighten up your skin. It will take time its different for everyone but they will turn white and fad to wear they are not as noticable. Im almost 21 and mine are white and are not as noticable. My mothers are also calming down. I know its probly not what you want to hear. But they will probly be there for the rest of your lives they wont be as noticable as when you first got them. I was told once that things like this just builds character. Everyone has faults but there is always someone that will love us anyway.   I want to get rid of my strech marks Comments By: Fathmath Jazeema I am 31 years old women.

PLEASE give this a go! IT WORKED FOR ME :)   ACV Comments By: CyberAngel Apple Cider Vinegar (apparently) will get rid of stretch marks, and works better than egg white.   creams and acne Comments By: BR I would be careful of what creams you are putting on your face. Sometimes these creams can make oily faces even worse. Dove makes lots of great products though. I know that the new "Cool Moisture Lotion" has Vitamin E in it.i have read that vitamin E helps your skin reproduce new elasticy cells.   Scrubbing Comments By: Lulu:-) I know ow everyone feels. I have had stretch marks from a very early age. Stretch marks are in the DERMIS, the middle layer of the skin. Unfortuately, most creams won;t penetrate past the top layer. HOWEVER.... THERE IS SOMETHING called EMU OIL. This penetrates through all nearly all the skin layers and has healing properties. There is a cream from HOLAND AND BARRATT which sells BLUE EASE CREAM which cointains this (as well as aloe vera and MSM - the later apparently breaks up scar tissue). Also, EXFOLIATING is meant to help because your body thinks that your skin has been damaged therefore goes aroung trying to ake new skin - (go to stretchmarkcure.com for more info - and no I'm not a sales rep I've just started to do the websites technique) I am a member of femalefirst.co.uk and there is a HUGE forum about stretch marks. If you think I'm an expert on stercth marks wait unti you listen to someof the other members! Google femalefirst stretch marks and you will find it. Hope this helps. Lulu:-)   never ending stech marks Comments By: anon i have had strech marks ever since i can remember, they give me low body confidence and at times low self esteem. my body has always been an unsiteful to look at, and worse of all i have just started recently to get one on my stomach.

At the moment i'm trying bio-oil and now this egg thing, fingers crossxxx If nothing else works i guess im off to te docters because my one dream is to walk on the beach and feel sexy again..hopefully theres smething out there for us   Did you try it Comments By: cati importa I am kind of confused becasue I have recently been searching online for ways to remove strech marks, and I found that recent studies have said Vtamin A is good for it and Egg Yolks contain the largest quantity of vitamin A. The egg white does have vitmin A but not as much.   GET RID OF THEM RIGHT AWAY ....OR JUST DEAL WITH IT Comments By: KAREN SORRY TO SAY GIRLS BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR HOE SKINNY YOU ARE IF YOUR GONNA GET THEN, YOUR JUST GONNA GET THEN IT'S IN HER GENES!!!

I'm a young black male. I experienced them as a result of a growth spurt. I had about 3 of them at different times. There's thousands of stories about stretch marks and if they are removable or not. For me it was at age 12 I remember seeing them. Now there is so much to prevent them that really works. Exfoliating is really good! Repairing your stretch marks depend on what you eat, exercising, drinking lots of water, and keeping good body moisterizers (daily). Trust me it will work for you. If you apply the right methods to your body...it will respond to them and repair itself. Never give up your hope. If your strecth marks very old...it will take a lil longer. But it will work. Find a method on the net and stick with it. You're worth it! Trust me it will work. (Take Care of your body...it will absolutely repair itself)   ugly strech marks Comments By: M im 16 and i want to get rid of my strech marks and i dont know how to and summer is coming and i need to work on them and make them disapear any help any one ?   STRETCH MARKS Comments By: I RATHER NOT SAY OKAY I AM 14 YEARS OLD AND I FIRST GOT STRETCH MARKS WHEN I WAS LIKE 12 SOME PPL SAY ITS BECAUSE U SCRATCK OR YOUR GETTIN FATTER I DONT KNOW BUT I HAVE TO WEAR A STRAPLES DRESS FOR A WEDDING COMING UP IN THE SUMMER AND I GOT STRETCH MARKS EVERY WEAR ON MY UPPER ARMS AND LEGS STOMACH AND THIGHS BUT I HAVE BEEN USING COCA BUTTER 4 A LONG TIME AND THERE FAITING AWAY BUT NOT COMPLETLY SO IM GONNA TRY THAT WHITE THINGY THANXZ GIRLZ   I NEED ANSWERS Comments By: Brittbomb I seriously hat my body and i just cant look at my legs...

If soo mabie ill start saving up for it..   removing stretch marks Comments By: Anon Stretch marks can be greatly reduced or removed using acid peels. The most commonly used peels are tca (seek professional advice for this one) or gylcolic acid peels. There are cases of people completely removing them over a period of 6 months to a year. Persistantly applying peels, exfoliating your skin with microdermabrasion cloths and taking vit supplements will over a period of months, either greatly reduce or completely remove marks on most people. Hope this helps   OH NO!! Comments By: IrishChick I am 13 (almost 14) and i got stretch marks on my breasts at around 10 or 11 and then i got them on my thighs and hips and bum at 13. I got worried and went to the pharmacists. The recommended Bio Oil. I used that but nothing seemed to be happening so I went to the local GP and she said it is part of growing up, some teens get them some dont and I am one of the unlucky ones. I am still using Bio Oil and they are fading. My cousin got them and she used baby oil on them every day and now they are gone so dont give up. Sorry to say the white ones are permanent, only the red ones can be delt with. They happen when the body is growing but the skin is not growing as fast so they stretch and leave a mark. I might try this and see but even after I will use the oil just to be sure. I go into chatrooms to make friends and males there say they have slept with women who have stretch marks and they dont care so other teens worrying about there sex life because of stretch marks dont worry :) Its really good to know that I am not the only one with them! Thanks for the advice and I hope my comment is useful to some! good luck! xxxx   WHY ME!

ALOE VERA i think dats how u spell it =]   Mr. Man Comments By: Bob Bobbson I'm a guy, and I've had strech marks ever since I grew tall. I guess my skin couldn't keep up with growth.( Doctors Words) They are really noticable. The ones on my stomach are like five inches long, but they are everywhere. Thighs, ribs, arms, calfs, kroch, I've never even been fat! I just wanted to add that it really sucks having stech marks when your a guy much worse than a girl. This is because not many guys have them so I'm like a freak. I'm very hairy so using lotions is a pain. I've also never had a girlfriend that wasn't totally turned off from them. In fact I've lost some promising reltionship due to them, I think they ruined my life. I've tighted them out with exercise but they will never go away, I didn't bother rubbing stuff on them, it just won't make any sence that that would work. I might try a wrap if it didn't make the sound it would make from movement, but wraping the whole area with tight plastic wrap would problaby srink the skin. What do you think about plastic wrap?   I figure it out!! Comments By: Bob Bobson They say if your srech mark are still red they will go away with treatment right? Well, last sumer when I got I little sun burn my marks turned red. After the burn went away the marks where still red for awhile. So get sunburn and then put everything you can think on there! Brilliant!   SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!! Comments By: Rabab Hey don't freak out people our disgrace in fact those have a solution. Almond oil!!!!!!!!!! But for this treatment you have to be patient. You just have to apply it to the affected areas everyday for couple of months and they will disappear with time. Believe me i had a baby a year ago and the stretch marks all over my body were just terrible so i applied the oil and after three months they were gone. And believe me if my marks disappeared all your will definitly disappear too.   THIS SUCKS!

I still believe i can get rid of it...but how?!   Stretch marks are forever Comments By: K I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading! Some of you girls think your like is ruined because of some stupid stretch marks. I had a baby and my stomach looks like a total road map. Yes they are ugly and yes I hate them but my husband doesn't look at me any differently and he thinks I'm as beautiful as the day we met. I've had marks on my breasts since the day they popped up and they faded and then reappeared when I gained weight. So I don't wear a belly shirt, or anything revealing, is that really so bad? Give me a break, stretch marks are pretty much a fact of life for most of us. I hate to tell you but I'm pretty sure perfect does not exist on earth, and it only exists in movies and magazines with the help of airbrushes and a lot of makeup!!   i'm only 14 Comments By: Katie i have stratch marks at the tops of my legs. inside thigh. they make me really self concious.

Mostly on my stomach and inner thighs. If you are getting stretch marks just simply from small changres in weight you really need to change your diet and include more benefitial omega 3's, and more fruits and vegetables. This will help your body heal and prevent stress to your skin. Once you have them there is little you can do with out tons of money for laser treatments and tummy tucks, but one thing i found is to help the skin retighten. Eat well and try an exfoliating scrub with fine coffee grinds in it. Use it every other day. The stimulation of the skin will help with the redness and the caffeine will help with tightening the skin back up. It takes time for your body to heal it's self so don't expect results overnight. Here is my recipe for a coffee sugar scrub gently heat 1/4 C castor or olive oil with 1/8 cup coffee grinds. Let warm for 20 minutes. Strain out the coffee grinds with a strainer and save the oil. add the oil to about 1 and 1/2 cup finely granulated sugar like C and H brand. I do not mean powdered sugar. mix it with a fork and store it in a tupperware type container with a lid. Keep it in the shower and use it every other day.   Oh My freaking GAHHH Comments By: Anon Ok so im REALLY TALL im 14 and im 6'4 ive had strech marks since i was 10 on my thighs on my knees on my hipps on my arms and yes even on my ass so i decided hell ill try almost anything to get rid of them but let me tell you somthing...EGG WHITES DONT WORK.

Comments By: Alyssa :D Hi. im alyssa. I'm 14 and i have this same problem. And yes, by the way i speak, obviously im more mature than you think. Anyways. I've been really bored, so, i looked through all of these comments and took the liberty of getting all these remedies and temporary fixations for this problem. yes i have them too. so ill most likely be back on here to tell you how all that works out. heres the list of things other people have commented on... 1. apply almond oil. (takes a month or so) 2. cocoa butter (2 weeks) 3. leave egg whites on your skin for 15 or 20 minutes ((no idea if this works)) lol 4. just use neutrogena's microdermabrasion kit. works in about 3 weeks. 5. rub vitamin e oil or lotion on skin. (improves elasticity) 6. msm? no idea what it is. go google it. im about to. lol 7. apple cider vinegar? hmm. wonder if that works too. lol 8. exercise and apply lotion. this does work. but you have to keep going at it. 9. bio oil? once again. google it. 10. emu oil? for the third time, google it. lol 11. olive oil...um i usually use this to cook with but okay, whatever. ill try it. (lol) 12. get a spray tan (makes them blend with your skin) well. these are all of the things people have posted. so good luck ladies. and don't let something like this hold you back. You are woman, and you are always going to be beautiful.   strecth marks on breasts Comments By: Need Help Now iv got stretch marks on mi breasts and im only 13 i havent told anyone bout it coz im 2 scared but is ther any easy ways of getting rid of them coz i dno wat bvoiz will fink ov me n mi breats now beacuse of wats apend   Stretch marks= depression Comments By: Maddie Omg!When i was 9-15, i was overweight whoch led to the development of my stretch marks.

Comments By: Margaux I'm 25 years old, always been skinny, have not given birth whatsoever but I have terrible stretch marks on my ass which is frustrating. I started getting them when I was in my teens, probably because I took Depoprovera pills for my irregular menstruation but I'm not so sure about the cause. I'm Asian/Pacific Islander so I'm naturally tan and my stretchmarks are all white and noticeable. I'm confident with how I look but I still wish I could wear anything I want. Yeah, I still go to the beach and wear two-piece swimsuits but I always opt for the boyshorts-cut bottom. And now that my new boyfriend is coming over to see me, I'm afraid he'll get turned off... But I don't care, really. If he loves me then it won't bother him. Plus I have a great personality to make up for it. Hahaha! So heads up girls, and think of the all positive things in you instead of worrying about those stretchmarks.   big problem Comments By: danny well i am 16 years old when i was about 15 i tried a weight loss programm and was goin good . but then i recently failed from some exams and went threw a hard time. i did more bad tahn good cuz it made me strech marks,at least i am not alone with these things they do really thick me off i hope this works the egg white thing if it works man will i love this site and has this been clinically proven???? well hope so anyways for those people put there has anyone tried the laser treatment cuz i dnt know if it works thanks replay back people!!!! i am goin to the gym and i hope that eases to release them hey for those men out there if u go to weight loos again and keep it this time no matter what and then do weights ad get a six pack will the strech marks still show???? pls tell me cuz u are facing the same problem as i am thannks alot   They r alwful Comments By: 'Anon'.
