No home remedies for stubborn stretch marks

There are no effective home remedies for these thin, white stretch marks which have been there for a long time. It is normal to develop a few at the time of puberty, but there is no treatment for these old marks. Those that have formed more recently could be due to pregnancy, weight loss, weight gain, or heavy workouts. These are red in colour, thick and elevated. These stretch marks may respond to a certain extent, to applications and treatments. They can be minimised with topical applications containing Glycolic Acid and Saliclylic Acid. These may help to flatten and lighten them. Mesotherapy, microdermabrasion, deeper peels and other aesthetic treatments will help them to fade away but cannot completely erase them.
