Grow slower and you won't have the problem..... :D

There was a thread a while back on this.. Look around, run a search etc..... Retina-A, aloe vera, vitamin E cream are all good for your skin and can help.....

Titanium is right. partially. I was able to semi contain a stretchmark with vitamin e oil, but in the end, it didnt do much good.
now, its just a badge of hard work.
I do think some people are more prone to it than others and lotions, etc can help prevent to a minor degree.
if they irritate you too bad, you can always have them tattooed with a color to more closely resemble the rest of your skin.

Tanning might help a little!, but there's really no way to get around it, especially when your trying to be a FREAK!!

the myth about vitamine e helping strech marks is not true, nothing can prevent strech marks, well one thing is dont work out......and any kind of lotion will help from strech marks from getting worse. it pays to get an A in nutriotion class.....stay swolledup.....

There is a product out on the market called "mederma" its for healing scars. I does work very well for stretchmarks. ive been using it for 2 weeks and they have already began to fade a little bit. On the bottle it says it will take 4-6 months for them to go away. On the downside, the shit is expensive, its 20 bucks for a small tube of it. They sell it at any drugstore behind the counter, although it doesnt require a script.

cheers guys i'll give em a try...i like the badge of honour!!!!

Only time will help them fade. Stretch marks on a guy never turned me off unless they were accompanied by dragging flesh, eww!. Hell, they show that you've been working hard to improve your physique. JMO

There is a mixture that is made for pregnant women and their stretchmarks. It contains Coco Butter, Vit E and yes, this is sold at Wal-Mart. Cjay

I don't know how to get rid of them but to prevent them, try using Baby Oil twice a day while cycling on areas that are prone to stretch marks (arm pits, bi's etc..)

unfortunatly im allergic to baby oil!!..i tried that and ended up covered in spots.

I've heard of using baby oil and Vitamin E, i don't worry about them though , only ensures me that i'm growing !
