I am only at the tender age of 16 years old and I am having some problems with what commonly known as Stretch Marks. I has them on my arms, legs and stomach and I have some questions. One of the questions that I have is that if I were to lose weight at a constant of 0.5 to 1 lb per. week my skin would re-adjust at a slow enough rate, what I want to know is if this would reduce the width of these scars until they disappear completely. The weird thing is as well that I am only 193 pounds and 5'9. I am not the big, yet I have this problem. I know people who are 50 pounds larger than I and they have none. I know that these scars disappear and become practically un-noticeable, but for now I would like to know if I lose weight safely, will it help.
