Scars & Vitamin E: Life holds no guarantees as we know, but vitamin e oil placed directly on the scar regularly can help to fade or remove the scar. You can get a bottle of it in the drug store. It's inexpensive and worth a try; just be patient. A dermatologist is the best place to start. Exercises won't help.

No: Exercise affects the muscles but not the skin. It also does not remove fat at least locally. If the stretch marks are from pregnancy or former obesity, they will fade and become smaller as your body recovers. If they are red in appearance, you should be seen by a dermatologist.
