Maderma? bio oil?

[anawhatsme]

has anyone tried any of these types of products for stretch marks?
i have horrible looking stretch marks in so many places.
i can't even show my shoulders comfortably because of them.

any tips or advice would be appreciated.
( i usually post in 100+ but i assume this question should be asked here)

update: i just searched the internet and it looks like it won't work for me because mine are white.
that sucks.

As far as I know, there is no way to get rid of stretch marks. It's like a scar on your skin. They do fade with a lot of time, but they'll always be there if you have them.

One thing to know about Maderma and products like Neosporin for wounds - they contain an ingredient that some people are allergic to. I found out the hard way. I have a nasty scar from a skin cancer type removal and the scar was caused by the irritation from my allergic reaction.

So ironic to me that my efforts in vanity backfired. LOL

And ya know, when I see someone with stretch marks, I don't think anything other than this person is genetically prone to stretch marks. To me, stretch marks don't say anything other than that. I'd say, don't sweat it.

I've tried bio oil before and it did not work for me. I also have eczema and it didn't really help with that either.

Mederma gave me a terrible rash- I guess it was that allergy!

I liked how bio oil felt but really didn't see much difference in my stretch marks.
