Stretch Marks..

[Beaarrr]

I have just lost quite alot of weight and i have no got some strech marks on the top of the backs of my legs. . i also have them on my side near my hips. . what should i do about them. . is this normal?

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

I dont think thats from weight loss, i always thought It was from growing taller? Hmm, idk...

[Gumleaf]

i think any drastic change in body shape could cause stretch marks as the skin changes to suit the new shape of the body.

Stretch marks occur when the body grows rapidly. Some people get them when they grow quite a bit taller in a relatively short amount of time. Quite a few pregnant women get them because their "bump" grows quite quick. Also, if you put quite a bit of weight on in a short space of time that can cause them.
They do not appear when you lose weight.

Were they already there before you lost the weight? Stretch marks can appear if you're overweight and they could have came from when you gained weight.

[sage of craze]

Stretch marks are perfectly normal, anybody can get them. You have nothing to fret about.

Ok thanks. i think they were there before i lost the weight but not so bad i dont think. i have grown in height quite alot too so yer it could be that i suppose! Thankss!

Stretch marks do indeed appear when you lose a lot of weight quickly, and also, of course, when you gain a lot of weight.
Though to make rid of them, I have no idea :/

[Beaarrr]

i think time is the only cure. i have had some in various places and they have faded over time.

[Atonement]

The stretch marks are from a rapid change in figure, such as I have a couple stretch marks from gaining a lot of weight. (don't ask) And as for doing something about it, I don't know.

Ok thanks! :D

Yeah, stretch marks are just a sign that your growing (getting taller, etc.), and so your skin has to stretch in order to keep up with the rate that you are growing at. As you grow taller and taller, or wider and wider, you will begin to see stretch marks. You will never continuously grow forever and ever, so in kind of a "break period" in which you temporarily stop growing, the stretch marks will begin to fade. As Trigger said, time is the only "cure".

[Crazysam]

at a young age they should fade naturally as you grow. Honestly don't worry about them, they will clear themselves up over time.

Don't feel bad. I am king of fat and have stretch marks everywhere that are so bad you would faint if you saw them.:(

[Beaarrr]
