about

I'm a mom of 3 kids in a long term relationship. I like to think I'm fairly smart(IQ 131), but I definitely don't know everything. I work a regular job, finished high school, but dropped out of my first year of college. I'm not religious, but I think of myself as pretty spiritual. I'm always watching and reading new things that interest me, because I love to learn new things. I guess you can really ask me anything, I love to give advice. I'm sure the people that will benefit best from my advice are other people like me, but don't take my word on it ;)

Hi, i am 17 going on 18 and i had a baby in march 2008 and i need help on getting rid of stretch marks on my stomic i used that mederma cream for stretch marks it worked a little but i can still see them i want to get rid of them before this summer i really want to wear a bathing suit this summer to go swimming i havent went swimming in public sense before i had my baby and it really sucks somebody out there please help. thanks

I've had stretch marks since my first pregnancy. Yes, there are all kinds of creams and lotions, but they do not completely get rid of stretch marks. Small ones may disappear with creams, but larger, wide stretch marks will never completely fade. Whether someone gets stretch marks or not, depends on how elastic your skin may be. Most products for this kind of thing are very expensive and take a long time to work. If mederma worked for you, i would keep using it. Just keep in mind it could be a year or more until the marks are not very visible.

To add a little more from what you asked. Everyone's skin is different. My mother carried my sister and I, without a single stretch mark, but I ended up with stretch marks. So it's not even something hereditary. That girl you know just happened to have skin that is very pliable and stretched easily. I know it's not fair, I wish I didn't have any stretch marks either, but there isn't much you can do, aside from a tummy tuck. Over time, they will lighten up, and become more of a silver color and less noticeable.
