Can massaging stretch marks help improve them? if so for how long a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early Stretch Marks: Early in the formation of stretch marks, massage and moisturizing can help. Red stretch marks con be encouraged to lighten, and later treatments can also help decrease the redness. Unfortunately, most "cures" for stretch marks do not work well, if at all.
