289.0. "STRETCH MARKS (GROSS!)" by CYPRES::EDDY_LI () Fri May 27 1988 16:45

    Maybe this is a weird question, but....
    
    Does anyone know the TRUTH about stretch marks?  I have recently
    lost a lot of weight, and my hips are covered with tiny white stretch
    marks from being bigger than I was "created to be".  Yes, I've heard
    the rumors they NEVER go away, but there has got to be SOMETHING
    to make them less obvious.  Vitamins, maybe???  Does anyone have
    any ideas?
    
    My hips and I look forward to your responses!!!!!
    
    Thanks--

    Well, I have mine from three babies, and they do NOT go away....
    they have gotten lighter with time (13 years to 9 years), however,
    they will always be with you....

    	Only plastic surgery can make them go away.  In time they will
    get smaller and may get lighter (less red).

289.3Vitamin E CreamAKOV12::PIMENTELTue May 31 1988 10:549
    Try using vitamin E cream which you can buy only at health food
    store.  My daughter had an operation in January and the doctor was
    not happy at the way her scar was healing so he told us to use this
    Vitamin E cream.  What a difference (on the label it is recommended
    for stretch marks and wrinkles.  I swear by it.  (It's cheap too.)
    We apply it both a.m. and p.m.
