I have some stretch marks on the back of my right calf and I'm guessing it's the rapid weight gain. But will they go away when I lose the weight? And if they don't, how can I get rid of them?

My stetch marks (from my kiddos~ so on my belly and sides) are still there after 9 and 12 yrs. However they do fade to silvery/white color and become much less noticeable.

Oh, okay. I guess that's better than what they are now (a very noticable reddish color). How long do you think it will take for them to fade?

Mine took a good year plus but they were pretty deep. Your younger also so maybe thats in your favor!

There are creams that are supposed to help as long as you apply it while the marks have color. I don't know the names, just that a friend's doc recommended it. Maybe ask your doctor.

Hi
I use copper peptide products on my abdomen for stretch marks (which were pretty severe) as well as peels. I'm not sure if you would go to all this bother or not but my stomach looks a lot firmer and the marks which I have had for 14 yrs are smaller. some almost gone. Not an overnight thing though, as I've been using them for 12 months. But I feel more confident now . Best of luck
