Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am suffering from severe stretch marks problem, which is increasing day by day. What can I do to get rid of it? And also I want to remove the old marks which are present near my belly, armpits, and above my shoulder. Please help.
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
Please do mention your age whenever you ask any query in the future. If your stretch marks are new, then it will be reddish. If it is old it will be whitish, the response to new stretch marks are good whereas old ones respond less to creams and ointments. Please try shea butter or cocoa buttercream in the day time and Retin-A (Tretinoin 0.025 %) cream at night for a month. If you do not find any response, then you have to visit a doctor to undergo laser therapy.
Thank you for consulting me.
You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
