A member asked:
Do you have to be pregnant to use bio oil for getting rid of stretch marks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin tears: Stretch marks are tears in the skin cause by weight gain. They can be covered up, but not improved by creams and lotions. The only possibly effective therapy is cosmetic plastic surgery, but that's a big step for a non-health and non-life threatening problem. Bio oil won't help them whether you're pregnant or not.
