What topical treatment can you recommend to me for minimizing my stretch marks in my butt. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retin A (tretinoin) and vit C: Treatment of stretch marks varies depending on many factors. The most important is your type of skin (firm vs soft), the duration of the lesions (older ones are harder to treat.) then the color. The white ones are tougher to treat than the red ones. Try retin a (tretinoin) 0.05% cream at night and vit c serum in the morning. It takes at least 2 months to see improvement. Laser tx is your next choice.
