    Nightmare stretch marks!
    I have developed stretch marks on the tops of my arms. Is there anyway of reducing the redness of them. I've tried moisturising them several times a day but it has not made a difference. I'm going on holiday in a few weeks and I'm dreading wearing tops that will make them visible.
    Has anyone got any advice please, I will try anything!!

    Have you tried any creams specifically designed for stretch marks? I'll admit I haven't tried any of them personally, so I can't guarantee they work. But I know they exist. I would recommend doing a Google search to see what's out there and doing some research on anything you consider buying.

    This site actually looks pretty good. They even have a recipe you can make yourself at home and user reviews.

    Yeah, I'm using Palmer's stretch mark cream but it doesn't seem to be making a difference.

    Mederma also makes stretch marks creams now. I haven't tried it though. The regular one works pretty good on scars.

    Like maddy308 said, Bio Oil is also made for stretch marks.
