    Yes, because getting pregnant is the only way to get stretch marks.

    Bio-oil is a great stuff, you can get it in most good Chemists, it's very very oily and takes a while to absorb but I had a small surgery scar that's virtually disappeared after rubbing the oil on it every day. Only drawback is that it's not the cheapest.

    +1 for bio oil. My wife used it every day during pregnancy. Not a stretch mark in sight.

    I have a Harry Potter style scar on my head after getting stitches. The doctor recomended Vitiman E cream. A friend said he used it on his gf for strech marks and it worked great.

    I never bothered and will have the scar and have the burden of being called Harry for the rest of my life:-P

    <Edit> Oh and I heard Bio Oil was great too <Edit>

    If I were you I'd cool it with the weights for a while until I got my Zinc in order.
    I'd also take silica to boost the suppleness of my skin and use cocoa butter or bio-oil.

    Hi,

    I used to have pretty bad stretch marks and red scars around my belly region ever since I gave birth to my three kids.I had tried Vitamin E oil and cocoa butter which a number of people had recommended but unfortunately it didn't seem to work too well. My Doctor had even suggested that I go for a Tummy Tuck. I then recently read an article about a lady who supposedly got rid of her stretch marks using a particular cream. I tried it and it worked really well. It took a number of weeks but my stretch marks soon faded away. You can read the lady's article at the link below.

    I'm gonna call spammer on this one

    I've turffed nearly an entire bottle of Bio Oil onto them but to no avail.
    Is it possible that it just doesn't work for some people?

    From reading about there doesn't really seem to be much that can be done with stretch marks Senor.

    You can improve them but I guess unless you can repair the tear in the layer of skin then you've got to just learn to love them. I have mine in the usual place where the armpit meets your tricep.
