I've been going to the gym now for about three months. Since then, I've increased the mass of my muscles a little bit. I've also noticed that I've been getting these purple and red marks on the skin around my biceps, and I believe they are stretch marks, if I'm not mistaken.
My question is: How do I get rid of them? They're ugly and I hate seeing them in the mirror everyday.
Edit: It's embarrassing to ask this because my friends don't have this sort of problem. :shrug:

1. Cocoa Butter: But that's what the recommend for pregnant women |

Every pregger woman I've ever know has slathered tons of cocoa butter over their stretch marks. Try that!

5. Break open 1000mg Vitamin E tablets, rub onto stretch marks, then lie in |
|
the sun. The marks, if they are stretch marks, will fade to silvery white on their own over a period of years. Anything else will only slightly speed the process. Stretch marks are forever, baby. Ask any woman who has had a baby...

you just killed my good mood. :(
Gaining a lot of weight causes stretch marks...working out causes stretch marks. I guess it's a no-win situation. :cry:

Advertised as the stretch mark killer. Can't vouch for it but it appears to have caught people's attention and is also being used to fight wrinkles.
