Striae rubra treatment as following

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through the picture you sent. Although the data you provided were just a few, from what I've seen these are striae rubra or red stretch marks.

Usually, treatment consists of moisturizing cream locally, retinoid cream, or laser therapy.

What have you used so far?

Brief Answer:
See below advice

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Does it hurt? itch?
If not, then, if it is worrisome to you from the cosmetic point of view, then, start retinoid cream locally together with moisturizer treatment for at least 4weeks.

After that, can resend photo to me to see the changes.
Otherwise, can consult with dermatologist further
Hope it helps.
