A member asked:
Is using of loofah bath sponge good or harmful for stretchmarks (which are between red and blank color )?does it enlarge stretchmarks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't help or hurt: 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.
