I know Im stuck with these scars for the rest of my life for the way I treated my body but has anyone found anything to use on them that has helped to deminish them at all?  I mean really Im learning how to deal with the batwings but my arms are looking like deflated balloons...its quit depressing
Loving this new life, just trying to figure it all out and take it all in day by day!!!

Other than having them removed and then having scars from that...no. You are stuck with it. So am I.

Unfortunately, even the creams that are supposed to be "specially formulated" to "eliminate" stretch marks don't do anything other than keep your skin hydrated so they will appear to be a bit smaller.  They are tears in the skin structure that cannot be repaired.

Depending on how many stretch marks you have, even plastic surgery may not eliminate them... I had my arms done but still have some stretch marks on the very back of my arm right at my armpit.

Bio oil from the phamacy massaged twice daily morning and night will fade the marks.
Also the vitamin e gel capsul could be used by punchuring the capsul and rubbing it into the scar.
