Hi,

I am Dr. Shubhangi Mestry, Dermatologist, Mumbai. Today I will talk about stretch marks. This is the burning issue as people have started losing their weight suddenly by doing a keto diet and so many other diets. Due to the breakage of elastic sudden issues. This happens during your pregnancy and weight loss.

So, we use a few kinds of the tube which are used by a dermatologist for their small problems like if I talk about steroids. Some people take oral steroids continuously without Dr consultation. This also gives the stretch marks. There is a different kind of stretch marks but steroids stretch marks are very different. And other stretch marks are in white color. Don't keep on using the tubes forever. Keep on applying moisturizer.

Don't reduce your weight suddenly. Just keep a watch on your weight loss. Of course, do exercise and take a healthy diet. Lose your weight slowly. Lose 1-2 kgs per month. There are other available treatments. If you start your treatment early for stretch marks, use moisturizer. It can be reduced over a period of time. Once they are formed, of course, there are a lot of treatments. So, you can reduce the appearance but they will not be completely gone.

Thank You.
