strectchmarks when cutting WTF?

im getting some nasty deep red stretchmarks under my armpits, along side my chest, and also on my biceps. The thing is that im cutting and loosing weight and these things really didnt come about when i was bulking up this winter. anyone shed some light, alsodoes know any tricks to hide these or ways to stop these these from getting worse. thx

same shit is happening to me. some one please tell us what to do. i got some of this stuff from nomarks.com, it has lightened my stretch marks a lot.

I was just reading up on stretch marks and here are a few things I learned. Most people believe that stretch marks can be prevented, but that just isn't so. Your best defense is healthy skin, and good genetics. Those "nasty red stretch marks" will eventually fade and turn silvery, like when a cut heals and scars, they will be less visible. I have them on my butt, they are there but not that noticable.

Here are a few suggestions:

(1) Eat the proper diet to help your skin be healthy.
(2)Drink plenty of fluids (Skin that is well nourished stretches better)
(3)If you have itching or tingling, use a cream to moisturize the area, some people prefer a Vitamin E oil or cocoa butter.

I got that itching/tingling feeling before(armpit area) and what do you know--I have a tiny stretch mark there. So moisturizing is important. Well that is some of the things I know. Anyone else???

That's what you get for building muscle too fast on steroids!

You can get stretch marks from rapid weight loss or from rapid wieght gain

mine are terrible but at least you know you're growing or losing the fat, which ever it may be. until you're done growing don't worry about them because if you're gonna get them there is no stopping them.

true that

I love my marks.. they came from me beinga huge fat guy. Now when i say i have lost a ton of weight so far, i can prove it hehe

I HATE MINE AT FIRST I LOVED THEM AND NOW I AM WORKING WITH LESS INTENSITY CAUSE WHEN I GO BALLS TO THE WALL I CAN SEE THEM GROW,
BUT GEUSS WHAT THAT ATTITUDE IS GONE I HOPE I LOOK LIKE A BIG PHUCKIN STRETCH MARK CAUSE ITS GROWING SEASON BABY
PS IF THERE IS A CURE IM VERRY INTERESTED LOL

Fatty Acids & warm-up

I had a trainer tell me that you get stretch marks from not warming up. What happens if you put a rubber band in the freezer and then try to stretch it cold? It'll snap. Stretch marks are places where the proteins in the skin (I forget their name) have stretched and broken. There is really no repairing them...

As for healthy skin, you can try Aloe, Vit. E, etc, as topicals. I've found that taking lots of Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids helps a ton. Either eat tons of salmon or supplement this stuff. I prefer Udo's Choice Perfected Oil Blend. It's about $12-$20 a bottle depending on the size you get. Tastes like sunflower seeds. It'll help your skin, help you suntan better, and help your brain (make you smarter). No joke. Check it out.

The reason you get stretch marks when you cut is because while cutting your body does not retain as much water. Your skin dries out, and starts to shrink along with the rest of your bodily tissues. But, your muscles become harder, and your skin loses elasticity. So, when you get a good pump, you get stretch marks. I use moisturizer on my entire body when I am cutting. Usually one of those skin tightening moisturizers with Q-10 in it. It works well, and my stretch marks haven't gotten any worse since I started using the moisturizer. It also tightens your skin, and makes you look more deffined and vascular. You also need to drink at least 2 gallons (or more) of water ED to stay hydrated. You should also take Vitamin E everyday also. Later

weird!
