Stretch Mark on bicep

Arthur2004 · 01-24-2004, 02:58 AM

i recently got 3-4 very tiny stretch marks on my right bicep..

i guess it happened when i was measuring my biceps like a week ago after a bicep work out..it measure 16in..but then i noticed the marks like 2 days later

now how long does it take to get rid of it and what can i do to help it go away...

it is pretty small but i still rather have it gone

once you got stretch marks you got them for good unfortuantley.

They may fade a little bit over time.

you can try some creams with vitamin E in them but unless you get the surgery to remove them they are there for life.

It sucks I have them all underneath my arm near my arm pit and all along my bicep as well.

...so there aint no creams to remove it compelty

If you can get the vitamin E creams on while the marks are still red, you have a chance of healing them. Youve only got a few days to try this, though. After that, though, the only thing that will make them disappear is time. Ive got some on my biceps, too... had them for a few years. Really cant even see them anymore.

Tanning will also help hide them really well.

I have a couple too. I was hoping this thread would reveal some magical cure, but I'm way past the first few days of having the marks. Oh well...

you can use strivectin...it helps get rid of stretch marks..and it works so well that women use it on there face nowadays instead of botox..its not cheap tho...gnc sells it actually and when its gold card week, depending if they do 30% or 20% u can get it from $108 to $90

I've had them for years now, and I dont think mine will ever go away. I have 3 or 4 on each side where my pecs meet my shoulders.

they look like Wolverine took out his rage out and clawed the shit outta me.

Flex - that's a common place for stretch marks. I'm starting to have the same problem. Oh well.

**P-funk** · 01-24-2004, 05:46 PM

One girl even told me that she though it was cool becasue they are sign of hard work.............I am in love.....lol

I just got my first stretch marks in the same exact place Flex! I was thrilled, it means I am growing!! YEAH!! Mine are not THAT big or dark.. I didn't even notice them, my trainer did!

Be proud of them... you work hard for them!!

your not drinking enough water! If you get a stretch mark its because your skin is loosing elasticity from lack of water. To get rid of them, go buy Vitamin E OIL! Not any expensive cream, just get the plain oil. Rub it on the mark a few times a day and this should reduce visibility of the mark by over 80%.
