    {sharon79{ strech marks during pregnancy

    :o hello there, I am a first time mom.my baby is 6mos.old now. My problem is I have so many strech marks on my legs, thigh, hips and stomach... how can I minimize this?

    I want to ask some of your opinion to clear them,, it is really ugly to see... before I was not pregnant my skin is soft and flawless but now oh my God I can't even wear shorts it shows... I like to go swimming but I can't wear swim suits I have so many in my stomach and hips...

    Please I really need your bright idea to minimize this or lessen this or disappear this strech marks.

    Thank you and more power

    Stretch marks can appear red or brown at first depending on your skin color, but they do fade to silver. It's not just the top layer of skin that stretches. The underlying layers stretch too and this creates small tears in the collagen (which is what gives skin its elasticity). Stretch marks are permanent and do not disappear from the skin. The only effective to way treat stretch marks is by Laser surgery and Microdermabrasion. However, creams or lubricants containing lanolin, cocoa butter or Vitamin E may help soften the appearance of stretch marks, but will not make them disappear.
