Olive Oil is amazing.  I used it throughout my pregnancy and have NO stretch marks at all!

Change your diet to inclued more vegetable and fruits. Cut out as much meat such as beef and pork as possible. Do leg exercises and walk at least two miles a day. In the evening before bed put aloe vera gel from the plant directly on the stretch marks and let dry. Do this every day until the stretch marks are gone. Aloe Vera in it's purest form, directly from the leaf is used on burn patients to keep the scarring to a minimum and to help heal the damaged skin.

Try rubbing the areas with lemon juice every day, it helps fade the marks quite well...;

Go to a dermatologist.  No home remedy will make those marks disappear.

There is NO cure for stretch marks. Once you have them they will never go away.  They will fade, and become less obvious, but never go away.  Learn to love your body, stretch marks and all.

i'm sorry to say this but, there is really no way to get rid of stretch marks.. using vitamin E lotions helps to prevent them during pregnancy but i'm almost positive there is no way to get rid of them once you have them.. i'm sorry! you might try a skin tightening cream.. it may help? good luck!

To prevent stretch marks and scars effectively use cocoa butter or a mixture of olive oil and herbs. You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks and scars at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/stretchmarks

Actually you can remove stretch marks with cocoa butter. It comes in two forms,the stick, and a lotion. Then stick works very well! When beginning you might see the stretch marks darken but after that they will lighten and eventually disappear!

Sorry, you are out of luck.  Just opt for full coverage trunks or push your vanity aside and wear what you want...your choice.  If you have stretch marks, you must have lost a lot of weight...congrats on that.  \n\nYour stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable but will never go away as they are similar to scars. The only option is the one you can't afford, seeing a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:\n\n1. tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)\n2. laser therapy\n\nYour health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost.

It's not possible to completely get rid of stretch marks, but you can lighten them using vitamin E oil or cocoa butter.

Your stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable months after you give birth but will never go away as they are similar to scars. However, you can see a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:\n\n1. tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)\n2. laser therapy\n\nYour health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost. \n\nOTC preparations do not work so you would be throwing your money away.  Just give it some time.  Instead of focusing negatively on the stretch marks, concentrate on what a wonderful baby you now have.  There are many women who would gladly have your stretch marks if only they could be blessed with a baby.

You can usually find some sort of Vitamin E cream for stretch marks at a drugstore or WalMart.

Yes they will be itchy when you first get them and if they're already there and being irritated by something or creating more stretch marks. There are alot of creams out there but they are really expensive. Really expensive. I tried the one from Avon because it didn't cost that much and it lightened them up but they'll never completely go away. If you have money you can laser them away. Whatever you use, make sure your skin is always hydrated with any kind of lotion. Vitamin E oil or Cocoa Butter Lotion made especially for stretch marks.

Hi DJ, I do not what to disappoint you, but I have got stretch marks as well and I can tell you that none of all so-called stretch removal creams or alike do not help, do not waste money.However, I can suggest you how to prevent a new stretch marks - Usually you fell itchy in particular parts, so do not scratch and if it is possible apply moisturizing creams or oils, but try not to scratch. My sister was pregnant, she followed my advise I she does not have stretches on tummy, but she did not take care of her legs (because she gained weight)and there are stretch marks.Take care

The suggestions from leviballen will probably work if you need to lose FAT from your belly area.   Probably more sensible is a simple, no pils, healthy eating and exercise program.  The only way to lose FAT from your belly area is to lose body fat overalll.  AS much as we woud like it to be differnt there is no easy fix to losing belly FAT and there is no such thing as spot reduction.  It doesn't work.\n\nHOwever, you didn't say you had FAT to lose in your belly area.  You indicate that your problem is loose skin, which is a whole different problem from belly fat.  If your problem is loose skin I am sorry to say the only solution is surgery.  There is no other way to get rid of loose belly skin.  The skin has stretched and lost its elasticity and it will not shrink back, no matter how much exercise or dieting you do, no matter how many Total Lean packs you buy.  \n\nAlso, you didn't indicate you had stretch marks, though suggestions have been made for those.  There are many products on the market that claim to get rid of stretch marks.  Stretch marks are permanent because they are caused by the thinning and breaking down of the layer of skin that has the collagen and elastin -the stuff that makes our skin elastic.  NOthing can fix this, no creams or pills.  However, the marks fade and get smaller and less obvvious all on their own over time, though the skin can never completely return to normal.  In the early stages some stretch marks do seem to be able to be treated by lasers which help get rid of the red color and may help with making things look better.  A cream called tretinoin has  been reported to be successful in some studies, but not in others, and reputable doctors all over the world indicate that there is no way to get rid of stretch marks.  YOu will find lots of sites that want to sell you stuff, but BEWARE.\n\nMy advice would be to be careful and don't spend your money on stuff that doesn't work.  Actually the greatest factor in determining whether you have stretch marks is your genes.  Some people get them, some don't.  If you do have stretch marks think of them as signs that your body has produced something wonderful, two new lives.\n\nGood luck and take care.

There is no medical proof that creams really help prevent stretch marks, even though some clai, they do.  The best way to prevent stretch marks is keeping weight gain steady, gradual, and moderate. Also, a good diet is always good for your skin's elasticity. \nIf you already have stretch marks, you can feel good knowing that they will gradually fade to a silvery sheen. You can also discuss with a dermatologist the possibility of reducing their visiblity with laser therapy or Retin-A.
