Stretch Marks Anonymous
So uh, I'm fat. A couple summers ago, I really stopped caring about a lot of things (for reasons I'm not going to go into), and I gained a lot of weight.

Unfortunately, with that weight gain came stretch marks. They're gross. They've become less noticeable in color, but I still know they're there.

Will they ever completely go away? Or will I always look disgusting?

Will they likely present problems with members of the opposite sex?

Yes, your skin will slim down as your body becomes skinnier.

When you lose to much weight too fast, that's when it stays all fucked up and flabby.

Fatass here.

I had stretch marks for about 2-3 years. They're gone now, but they've left small, almost not noticeable scars (though, the hair helps (scars are on my stomach)).

You shouldn't worry about the scars, either. My girlfriend hasn't noticed them in over a year (I told her about them two days ago, and she NEVER noticed).

I think minor scars (not major scars like those caused by surgery) naturally heal over a few years. when i was about 11, i had a ton of fucking scars caused by bug bites on my legs (i had a thing of scratching them open when i was sleeping) and by 2 years, they had disappeared.

they will never go away completely. They will eventually become just a shade lighter than your skin and be almost unnoticeable though. Depends on how deep/thick they were.

I have them on my stomach and inner thighs because i had a bad summer where i put on 30 pounds of pure fat in 4 months. It sucks but thats the price we pay for letting ourselves go (mine was a combo of a bad relationship and quitting smoking and drinking beer every day). As a guy it's a lot easier to get away with though, we arent expected to have perfect skin

Stretchmarks never disappear. Don't believe the myths. You can reduce their appearance, and they may naturally fade in appearance over time, but they will never disappear.

The only real solution is dermabrasion, but that's both painful and expensive. You litereally have to remove the layers of skin that are stretched.

But, there are a few things you can do to reduce their appearance and help them fade. Try daily applications of lotions designed to deal with stretchmarks, (i.e., products with cocoa butter) try toning a bit to help your skin snap back in place, and maybe try to get plenty of sunlight. These may help reduce their appearance overall, and in some cases, may make it seem as if you don't have them at all. These aren't really permenant solutions, though. You would need to keep up with a constant routine in order to keep their appearance down in the long-run.

I have stretch marks right where the back of my thighs meet my ass...and I'm not fat, actually quite tone in the upper regions, with large thighs that are mostly muscle... How do I go about remedying this?

Stretch marks suck, I got them on by waist years ago when I put on weight, and now that I'm doing weights and gaining muscle i've got them on my arms.

Stretch marks are scars. They'll lose the pink color after awhile.

They're harder to see if you tan regularly, as well.

They're really not that bad.

take it slow with the weight loss. Let your skin slowly get accustomed to your ever shrinking gullet/mullet

Try not to be so self conscious about them. After all, every girl who has gone through puberty has them, unless of course, they remained flat-chested and boy-hipped. So I doubt a girl would hold that against you.

I was about 265, now I am about 215, my stretch marks on my stomach and sides were huge. They are basically white now. I can still tell where there are and completely the same size but noone else notices them. I am really self conscience about them but I have no reason to be. My gf said she loves not having to look at them anymore.

a tan usually helps for some reason.

Black man here, if you have a darker complexion, I would recommend using Cocoa butter every day before sleeping.
