Ht. 5.5, Wt. 148 - what r strech marks? what do they look like
Reply from jayme, Age 18 - 09/18/05 - IP#: 68.186.30.xxx lauren, stretch marks are from the skin stretching at a fast speed, from gaining weight fast. they are pretty much scares that appear on your skin. they never go away, BUT!!!! they do fayed out and eventually match your skin color. most girls get them on their breast's or sides when they gain weight. if you have them dont worry they do fayed and you cant really even tell they are there. here is a hint that might help you, where ever these marks are use vitamin "E" oil -OR- use coco butter lotion, it will help fayed them out quicker..... AND DONT SCRATCH AT THEM! tat only makes them worse. good luck with everything, if you have anymore questions and want some advise you can e-mail me at: krazzy_kidd420_123@hotmail.com.
Reply from dena, Age 14 - 09/18/05 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx its pretty much just ur skin that make stretch lines that are visible, either from a weight gain/weight loss that ur body wasnt prepared for so fats to either match up with ur height or weight, if u gain weight u can get them because ur body responded to make ur skin stretch a little, or if u lost weight its like "extra" skin that used to be tight when u weighed more, or if u grew / and or had a growth spurt.. then ur skin stretched a little to match up with ur taller height that u grew.. and stretched a little to leave visible stretch marks, a real lot of teens boys and girls get the, bothign to worry about at all.. u can get them anywhere, they visibly reducde within sometime, but in the meantime u can always go out and buy a certain cream or lotion that targets stretch marks to make them go away visibly. well hope i helped. good luck on ur weight loss goals, bye
