Delivered 3 months back and my belly has these red lines all over. Will they fade on their own with time or stay forever? feeling little low looking at them honestly.
Mine became my little tiger stripes, badge of honour yaar. They lighten up a lot over time but I made peace with them. Cocoa butter helped, my willpower to use it daily not so much haha.
I felt so conscious about mine after delivery honestly. They didnt disappear fully but over months they faded a lot, from red to light silver lines. They are still there but I barely notice now.
They fade, they dont fully vanish, lets be real. After both my kids they became much lighter with time. I kept oiling regularly, helped with the itching more than anything.
Dont waste money on those expensive creams promising they vanish, sach nahi hota. They naturally fade over a year or so. Plain coconut or almond oil works just as well for keeping skin soft.
I totally get why you ask, I stared at mine a lot in those early weeks. They do fade with time, the colour calms down a lot. Be kind to yourself, your body did something amazing.
