"What Can I Do About Stretch Marks?
There are several treatment options for stretch marks. The degree of success with any treatment will be impacted by your age, your skin tone and even your diet. Treatment options include:
* Surgical methods. Dermabrasion, chemical peels, or laser surgery can be used to address unwanted stretch marks.
* Lotions and creams. Over-the-counter stretch mark treatments are available. Ask your doctor to recommend one. And, if you are pregnant, discuss your concern with your doctor at the beginning of your pregnancy, before stretch marks develop, so that preventive treatment can be started.
* Diet and exercise. Drink plenty of water. Adequate hydration keeps your skin soft and less likely to develop stretch marks. Caffeine can increase your risk of stretch marks. If you're stuck on your caffeinated coffee or tea, make sure you balance the fluids. Drink just as much -- or more -- water as you drink coffee, tea or soda. Stretch marks can also result from nutritional deficiency. Be sure to consume foods that promote skin health: foods rich in zinc, such as nuts or fish; Foods high in vitamins A and C, such as carrots and citrus fruits and milk; Protein-rich foods, such as eggs."
