How To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks?

Hai Doc,I am a mother of a six months old baby, I applied olive oil to get rid of stretch marks during pregnancy. However it dint help me out. Now I have dark brown colored stretch marks over my belly which are clearly visible. Instead of giving me the reasons of why they occur, please suggest a proved remedy for the same. My family doctor suggested for Evion cream, but before buying it wanted to take a second opinion. Thanks.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern
Stretch mark occur due to elastic nature of tissue underlying the abdomen, thigh and buttocks.

So abdomen is stretched due to fetus and amniotic fluid,
Hormonal changes also take important role.

Yes you can apply olive oil and evion cream.
But you also maintain your weight.

Following home remedies can be used:
Caster oil massage
Cocca butter application
Alo vera oil massage
Honey plus vitamin E and shea butter based ointment for better mosturize the skin.
Massage and relaxation excercise

Medical treatment also used if not responds to above and if you have more cosmetics concern:
Chemical peeling
Laser treatment is last best option, but it is costly.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
