really stretch marks...really?

So I have like 1" sized spots of stretch marks all over my butt! They aren't even like lines they are just spots. My butt looks like a purple spotted leopard! Ugh I'm so frustrated with it lol and the left cheek is worse than the right. I am guessing this is due to not having the same muscle tone in my left cheek and thigh from dislocating my knee cap last year and having my leg in a cast and braces for awhile. Does anyone else wanna share their stretch mark stories to make me feel a little less alone?

Re: really stretch marks...really?

  • I got them bad when I was pregnant with DS. I have a huge 3 inch stretch mark going up my torso from where my belly button was peirced. It's horrible. I hate looking at it cause it's really red. But my whole torso looks like a war zone.

    Esma: I'll turn him into a flea. A harmless little flea. Then Ill put that flea in a box. And put that box inside another box. Mail that box to myself. And when it arrives. ILL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER. Its brilliant, brilliant, brilliant I tell you. Genius I say.
    Or to save on postage. Ill poison him with this.

  • Ugh! I totally feel your pain! I had surgery when I was 15 for a ruptured ovarian cyst and I have about 5 lines that have branched off from the incision scar. My doc said I probably wouldn't have any yet if it wasn't for that darn scar!!

     I wish someone would have warned me about the belly piercing issue.  My mother told me a million times that tattoos could look ridiculous after pregnancy, but no one ever mentioned the likelihood that my belly piercing could look so messy.  Ugh.

    My doctor told me it's good to lather up your belly with lotions and stuff to keep it from itching but it won't do anything for stretch marks. Unfortuantely you can thank your mom for those. They are hereditary. She said the only thing you can do that might have some effect is use mederma after to fade them : (
