A member asked:
I'm under 18 and i have stretch marks on my stomach and side from pregnancy. will tanning make them better or worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither?: It may make them more or less visible depending upon their location and extent. Stretched skin will probably not tan normally or evenly. Stretch marks are tears in the skin cause by weight gain. They can be covered up, but not improved by creams and lotions. The only possibly effective therapy is cosmetic plastic surgery, but that's a big step for a non-health and non-life threatening problem.
