Switch187 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I hear Vitamin E oil really helps with getting rid of stretch marks and other types of skin problems. My sister used some after having a surgery done, and her scar is completely gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeox Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 so Vitamin E oil alright. What about cocoa butter? Yeah these marks are pretty deep and it sucks having these because people look at you like your different it so sucks And how long did it take your sister to lose her marks?

Switch187 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I think she had Cocoa Butter as well, but I think she mainly used the Vitamin E oil, I don't really remember that well. I know that she had the scars for a couple months, and then after a while they just started to fade away, to a point were they could no longer be seen. I only heard about this from her and my mom because she had a breast reduction, and it's not like I wanted to see her boob scars. But she would tell me how the oil really worked, and would recomend that I use when I would crash my dirtbike and get some pretty nasty scars. I only used it for a little (since scars are cool ) but it did help in making the scar's less noticeable. So my guess would be a couple weeks to months before you notice a change, then after that you will notice a constant "fade away" of those marks.

xeox Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 alright sounds pretty cool ill go out and buy some of that stuff. Another question does it make you any different from anyone else with these ugly marks? I mean i had to lose weight because i could have problems later down the road so i thought it would be a good idea to lose it now and not worry.

Santa Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Also, these marks are very common. They are caused sometimes by the skin not producing enough something or other, and so your skin isn't elastically enough or something. You can get them in lots of ways, and they are common.

JonnyG Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 As a regular at the gym, I have them under my armpits and they stretch a little to the upper back and pecs. There very common on guys who go to the gym either from muscle gaining, or from sudden weight loss. I don't know why people would be looking at u funny in the gym, because like i said, its very common there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunblade Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 As Jonny said, stretch marks are really common, I have some in the lower stomach area, and used to ahve some in the inside of the first half of my arm (bit between shoulder and elbow), but those seem to have disapeared.. I'm not sure when they appeared, but i dont really care about them, as i aint one to show off my body gunblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
