hi there....
iam in my 9th month pregnancy...and i developed dirty stretch marks..can anyone please help me how to get rid of these...is there any herbal soap or cream to remove those...pls kindly suggest the one which really works...

thankq Nina replied. Hi Jewel,
I wanted to share with you that is you use Cocoa butter on your body after showering, it will keep your skin smooth and it will cut down on the itching that is associated with stretch marks.

Massaging the belly using a little bit of olive oil is good, but let me go ahead and tell you there is no way to get rid of stretch marks once they come, as a matter of fact, some people get them and other's don't. Right now, they are probably a deep red or purple color streaks on your belly, but months after baby is born, they will fade. Over time, they will be less visible, but, they will be there.

I got stretch marks on my belly with my first pregnancy, they didn't even appear until weeks before giving birth. Now, 6 years later, they are faded and are a lighter color than my normal skin...but, it's better looking that even just years ago.

Don't be discouraged too much because you are caring a very precious package, a baby...

God Bless,
Nina friend replied. i think i gave u some extra advice on the question of dark spots which was not your question it was someone else's so once again u can apply vitmain E oil in the stretch marks to lighten them.
friend friend replied. you can use lactic acid on the dark spots on your knees as that is what my dermatologist had recomended for that problem as for your stretch marks you can apply the vitamin E oil which you can get in the pharmacy, regular applications may lighten the stretch marks but not eliminate them because i have heard that laser treatment can only eliminate these marks so i think the best thing would be the vitamin E oil as you say you are pregnant.
good luck and hope this advice helps you thru your problem.
