Question : Hello,

What's the best medication to get rid of the stretch marks?

One of the doors recommended me Retinol A 0.05 % and I want to get a second opinion. I need to find something that really helps. I don't want to waste my money.

If someone could help me with this it will be appreciated.

Thanks

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Topical and oral medicines are not very effective in the treatment of stretch marks although tretinoin 0.05 percent cream can be of some help.

Usually better results are seen with procedures like micro-needling and fractional carbon dioxide laser.

But if you don't want to go such procedures then definitely use Tretinoin 0.05 percent cream.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
