Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
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
