Suggest Treatment For Stretch Marks On Body
Over the last 2 years I have found a lot of stretch marks gradually showing up and worsening in many areas of my body (side of the hips, back of the knees, inner thighs, on my breasts, and around my bum). I have ruled out weight gain, as any would have been very gradual and doesn t apply to certain areas, and I have not been pregnant. I have been to see several doctors about this and they cannot give an explanation to this other than a hormone imbalance or something to do with cellulite. Are there any recommendations as to treating these stretch marks and preventing future ones without the need for laser surgery?
