Developing stretch marks can definitely make you more body conscious especially if they are bright red stretch marks that your worried everyone will notice and be disgusted by.
This is understandable because red scars are more noticeable than white stretch marks, flesh coloured ones or even purple marks. Red stretch marks are usually more raised, angry looking and itchy too so it’s no wonder that they can make you depressed about your appearance. And they can also appear on the arms, legs, breasts, stomach etc just like other colour variations of stretch marks.
Some of you may have these marks due to big life achievements such as pregnancy or losing weight so it’s difficult to come to terms with the scarring because they developed during good moments in your life.
Just remember that the brightness and redness of the stretch marks will fade over time and this colour usually signifies that the scars are fairly new which means you can start doing things to help the fading process.

I’ve never had stretch marks before but I’ve recently put on weight too quickly and I have lots of bright red stretch marks. I’m going to try the dry body brushing you mentioned on another page along with a stretch mark cream and follow a healthy diet and exercise regime. I’m going to beat the stretch marks from all angles lol
Thanks

My new year’s resolution for 2009 is to fade my scars as much as possible! I’m determined this time. I usually give up because I don’t see results immediately but I realise it takes time for your skin to adjust.
