Stretch Marks

Kevandlaura · 07-04-2004, 10:29 PM

Hi, I've been going to the gym now for about 2 years and i have recently developed stretch marks on my body, mostly on my thighs and lower back

I've heard that bodybuilders get this quite often due to the muscle growth. I'm not exactly what you would call a bodybuilder and have never put on or lost weight rapidly, so don't really understand why i have them.

I wondered if anyone knew of anything to get rid of them?

Any help would be most appreciated as i hate them!

Thanx!

welcome to the musclechat board Kevandlaura

thats very strange,getting stretch marks without changing your bodysize.

maybe u ought to have them checked out with a gp.

anyway i got a load of stretch marks,around the upper chest area,when i first started training.

they will fade over time,

but to hide them abit

i have found tanning works wonders.

i hope this helps abit

As steve said tanning or sunbeds, vitamin E cream will take the redness away and taking vit e orally may help.

Otherwise wear them with pride
