Hello doctor, I have lost about 20-21 kg weight in time span of 8 months. But after loosing weight I am having stretch marks on all my body starting from shoulder, tummy underarms, etc. Please tell me something so that I can remove my stretch marks as it looks very unpleasant. Apart from this i'm also having dark arms I have used retino a micro 0.04% but it stands not effective. Please guide me with the stretch marks and dark patches i'll be highly grateful to you.

Stretch marks on the body are treatable in very early stages. The stretch marks are formed due to breakage of elastin and collagen fibers in the skin and the skin then reforms in a bad way. So you can call it a fracture of skin. But sadly they are very tough to treat. In early stages of the formation when that are pink in colour they respond well to any cream you apply. Like retino a.so it's better to visit a skin specialist and for better understanding and treatment. Till that time I suggest to continue retino a gel and coconut oil application twice a day. For dark patches keep under arms clean with a sanitizer and regular hair removal with a trimmer. And apply cream given by skin specialist.
