They say with rapid weight lose or weight gain you will get stretch marks.  I know when I was pregnant I had stretch marks, the obgyn told me to use cocoa butter on my stomach to make it more soluble.  Therefore, it will bounce back and not make tears in my second layer of skin.  It really didn’t cure the stretch marks but they were not as noticeable.  I have tried creams, and lotions nothing seemed to work.  You can have expensive surgery to remove the stretch marks but is it worth the price? 

For me it is not, I will stick with using the creams and try to rid them or at least make them lighter less noticeable.  I know I am getting older and I have lots of stretch marks due to gaining weight then taking the weight off.  I use aloe vera to try and minimalize the damage that it does to my skin.  Does it work I am seeing a little bit of difference they are not bad as they use to be.  They make creams and lotions that are for this kind of removal but I am skeptical about all those.  Maybe because I haven’t tried them.
