Answer 1

Fresh stretch marks appear initially as red lines and then slowly fade to a pale white color over the course of several months. Below is the link regarding Stretch Marks.

Answer 2

There is a lot of stretch mark treatment available on the market these days. Some treatments are more effective in fading or even eliminating stretch marks, but the success of the treatment depends on a few different things. First of all is the color and age of the stretch marks. If they have faded to a flesh color they are much harder to heal. Second of all, ethnicity and heredity play a role in which creams, oils and other products or equipment will succeed in healing stretch marks.

The cheapest stretch mark treatment available is creams made especially for stretch marks. The most effective creams contain ingredients such as cocoa butter, lanolin and wheat germ oil. These creams actually heal and rebuild the damaged skin. While they may not be able to completely eliminate stretch marks, they may at least make the stretch marks fade to a barely visible scar. A good recommendation will be Palmer Cocoa Butter Cream.

Another popular & effective cream that you might wish to consider is Strivectin. It has a bioactive topical formula that has a combination of skin firming agents to reduce visible wrinkles and make skin appear firmer

Answer 3

I've got the opposite problem.  I was very skinny and started lifting weights and ballooned from 135 to 205lbs in 3 years and thus got a lot of stretch marks under my armpits, biceps, but and shoulders.  Vitamin E lotion has worked well for me so far.

Answer 4

The best results come from a dermatologist who can give you hints and ideas what to do.  There are several over the counter products that may or may not work and just good old time since the skin has to heal from the rips underneath the upper skin layer.
