Yep, unfortunately that's something I have to deal with. It's better than being 300 pounds though. Luckily, I'm young and within a few years the skin should tighten quite a bit and marks fade a lot.
Depends on your age, how quickly you lost the weight, how long you were obese, and most importantly, genetics. So realistically they may never go away or they may disappear completely -- everyone is different with so many factors.
http://www.cosmeticscop.com/learn/ar...FER=SKIN&ID=28 I don't know what the latest research is but I think most of the creams have been shown to have little, if any, effect.The simple answer is, "Probably not." Research published in Dermatologic Surgery (April 1999, pages 311–315), concluded that the "...study shows that there is no benefit to the cosmetic outcome of scars by applying vitamin E after skin surgery and that the application of topical vitamin E may actually be detrimental to the cosmetic appearance of a scar. In 90% of the cases in this study, topical vitamin E either had no effect on, or actually worsened, the cosmetic appearance of scars. Of the patients studied, 33% developed a contact dermatitis to the vitamin E." The study was done double-blind "with patients given two ointments each labeled A or B. A was Aquaphor, a regular emollient, and the B was Aquaphor mixed with vitamin E. Patients were asked to put the A ointment on part A and the B ointment on part B twice daily for 4 weeks." Antioxidants are an option for skin, but for preventing scars vitamin E applied on the skin doesn't appear to be one of them.
Aren't there creams used by pregnant women to help these disappear faster?
