I just started using mederma too. My scars are so red and I hope it works. My stretch marks aren't so bad but I'd love to find something that would help with them too.

Yeah it worked for me but I use it a couple times a day instead of the instructed once per day. My stretch marks aren't to bad but the ones I have I want gone! Lol I think it's help to moisturize everyday! I have always been good w my skin so I truly believe that's why I don't have more because at my highest weight I was 352 and I should be a road map or stretch marks! Lol I use jergans ultra healing but I'm going to switch to the firming one!

I broke out in a roadmap at eleven, due to puberty. I mean, marks in the ODDEST places - like behind my knees or across the top of my buns.

With each pregnancy and with weight loss/gain as an adult, the marks only got worse and worse.

I have tried just about every known cure and all I've been able to do is fade the reddish/purple a bit.

Time really does do a lot. I have a terrible scar on my leg where I had two operations for a broken leg/ankle and with time it's faded very well.

The reality is that they will never go away, though you can diminish their appearance with lasers (so I've heard) and they will fade with time. I will have plastic surgery but there will still be stretch marks even when I'm done.

They say that good ways to minimize marks are to stay hydrated and keep skin moisturized. I honestly think some of us are just more prone to being cursed with them than other folks.

Good luck!

I'm also someone who moisturizers every day. But I guess when our bodies hit 300+ lbs stretch marks will happen. Im going to look today and I'll let you know if I find something good

I got stretch marks at 18 when I was 190! I have been using biooil, it's helped a little but only a little. I would love to find something because I'm only 27 and really don't want baggy skin! My highest was 240
