A member asked:

How do i get rid of stretch marks on and around my arms? what should i use to completely get rid of them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sorry: 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.
