Hi there
Apparently Mederma is good for both scars and also stretch marks. You can obtain this from aaaskindoctor.com. Hope this helps, jw

Check into having laser done on them. I have seen
terrific looking photos on the web and it removes them
completely but could get expensive. Also I heard Retin A is a good treatment.

thanks for the replies.yeah i heard of mederema and laser but i have white ones on my stomache so i dont know how good they would work and they looked like someone carved them in but when i tight my stomache you can barely see them i was even thinking about a tummy tuck but i dont know if i have enough extra skin to do it. i want to go to a dermatologist to see if laser can do something but just need the money but thanks so much for you all help

I read that any topical treatment will not get rid of stretchmarks, but I still am tempted to try Mederma also. (I have a few stretchmarks also). If you try it, please post the results. I think laser treatments are the best way to go though. Good luck, take care everyone.
