Tanning and Stretch Marks... - Skin Problems Message Board

dfwgoodguy · 12-27-2004, 06:58 PM

I have recently lost a lot of weight. And have many stretch marks on my sides, around love handle area and along side under arm. I also am pretty pale, due to always wearing a shirt in the sun. Would tanning cause these to darken at all? Or blend in? Or will they stand out even worse if i tan?

I dont want them to stay white while i get tanned, that would be way worse than now. :P

Thanks.

I have found that tanning reduces the apperance.

I find that the stretch marks stand out even more, the stretch marks dont have any pigmentation therfore it will not tan or gain a different colour ( which i was told) and i have found that they do stand out eve n more, as the outside area tans not the stretch marks. i could be wrong but hey

I tan regulary and I can't even see my stretch marks anymore....maybe it depends on the person.
