Hi, my name is Raul and I have a skin problem. The thing is that I don't know what is called. The thing is that 2 years ago I gained weigth dramatically so my skin started to have this cracks. Like those of pregnant women on their stomachs. So I started exercising, now I look better, but my skin keeps on breaking up. Nobody knows about this but I have them all around my body and the worst are in my stomach and in my arms. And the ones in my arms just keep on spreading down. If anyone can help me, like telling how to stop it, or if there's a cream I can buy, anything will do.

Thanks for your time

Hi Raul,
What you have is called stretch marks, and they are by no means just things pregnant women get!
You should be able to find out plenty if you type 'stretch marks causes' into a seach engine such as google.

They look their worst when they are new and fade to skin colour eventually, though the channels tend to remain, but not nescessarily very obvious!

I once had a friend say how lucky I was to have no stretch marks, (she was giving me an aromatherapy massage at the time) I could only laugh as I am covered in them!

So you see, they do fade

Thanks, I was really worried that I would have to live with the things all my life. By the way, thanks for telling how they are called. Again, thanks a lot!
