A member asked:

What medication or suggestions can you provide for removal of strech marks on the chest and the waist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Stretch marks" ?'s: Stretch marks from sudden loss of weight or post pregnancy are really tears in the elastic portion of the skin, and there is no medication remedy. Surgery to remove the stretched skin may be considered, but see your gyn physician for guidance.
