The picture isnt the greatest but I didnt have much time to fiddle with it now. I may try and use my good camera and take some shots later.

Basically My stomach and arms and hips are covered with that. They are faded, but there are so many and you can still see them and it looks horrible.

I know that there are things to make the red color fade away, but thats not what worries me with them. I want them to totally go away so I can wear a sleeveless shirt and not only not be paranoid that my arms are grossly huge but also not think about how many stretch marks I have all over my arms that are visible even though they are faded. They also feel different. They feel bumpy when you run your fingers over it.

sighs I hate these things!



I use the Re-Fine lotion from Avon, mine don't feel bumpy anymore and aren't red either. You may want to try it out.
