A member asked:
I have white stretch marks on many places of my body, is there any way to make them less obvious? my skin is very pale, can i use glycolic acid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Topicals can help: So glycolic acid or alpha-hydroxy acid based creams can help, along with augmentation with over the counter topical retinol creams(used at night). But prescription strength skin peels(often with stronger glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid) in combination with prescription retinoic acids have a stronger effect. Laser resurfacing is another viable option instead of mechanical dermabrasion.
