My son called me tonight, he is 20 years old and in college. He has been doing a lot of weight lifting and has noticed that he has stretch marks on his arms and across his chest! He is freaking out! I, for some reason, have never had them. I was wondering if there is anything that can be used to lighten them up so they are not as noticeable.

Coco butter helps considerably.

He may even want to try one of the creams for pregnant tummies.

My husband swears by cocoa butter. I wish I didn't have silver streaks on my boobs, but when I was about 13, I grew overnight. Have had them ever since. Never tried cocoa butter, but I may.

Theyll be dark im the beginning then lighten up.

Tell him no worries.. Its just his tiger stripes showing

Missy...I can picture my little manly mans face if I would hand him a jar of cocoa butter that says its for pregnant tummies! That thought cracks me up!

Marci...thanks for the info, I will let you know if it works for the silver streaks on his boobs...Ooops, I mean pecks!

Blondie....I will have to give him that line to use! With his personality I think that could change his embarrassment when people see them by having a witty remark!

You girls are the best! Thanks so much, I appreciate the help!

Tried just about everything for stretch marks but the best thing I've used was Pond's cold cream for your face. Does wonders....I even put it on after I lay in the tanning bed and I don't peel
