I am 25 year old female. Due to weight gain I have got stretch marks on my arms and legs which look quite weird. Can you suggest me how to remove those old marks and prevent new ones from coming?

Hi! stretch marks are formed in areas of rapid growth spurt or weight gain, due to side effects of certain medications or other medical conditions. Treatment will depend on whether your stretch marks are new or old, colour reddish or whitish. You may put up 2-3 clear pictures of the affected area for proper evaluation and guidance you can apply emmolients like coconut oil/olive oil and vitamin e for the time being.
