Default Stretch marks

I was an obese before and now that I am slimmer, there are stretch marks around my waist, my shoulders and other parts of my body. Can anyone help me get rid of it? Thanks.

Well, there are creams and lotions for that, designed mostly to help women get rid of stretch marks after pregnancy, but from what I hear and read, they are not very effective. In most cases, stretch marks do fade with time, by themselves.

stretch mark is a common problem for women. there are lucky woman who don't have stretch mark even after giving birth. just try using different kind of lotion. they will lighten in time.

You just have to apply a moisturizer or lotion daily so that the marks will lighten. You can try cocoa butter but it really takes a long time before the marks lighten.
