A member asked:

Last month dark stretch marks appeared above my knees. i've had no significant weight loss or gain so what is causing them? how can i get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stretch marks : Stretch marks may happen during times of hormonal changes as well as stretching of the skin. Try a vit d supplement (800 iu/day), vit c (500 mg three times per day) and zinc (4 mg per day) to help skin integrity.
