These marks on my pet and hips have really increased in the last few weeks and they look so dark. Just wondering if they actually lighten after delivery or stay like this forever. anyone who delivered already, kaisa raha?
I was so worried mine would stay forever and look terrible, but they really do fade a lot after a year. Try not to stress about them too much. Just keep applying cocoa butter and try to stay positive!
I'm currently covered in them like a tiger, haha! Everyone says they fade to silver later, which I'm hoping is true. For now, I just apply whatever lotion is near me and hope for the best while trying to breathe!
They definitely fade! From bright red to light silver lines. 😊 Just keep massaging with virgin coconut oil or almond oil, it takes time but definitely helps a lot!
They do fade over time and become light silvery lines. Don't waste thousands on expensive creams, just apply simple warm coconut oil or bio-oil daily after bath. It keeps the skin soft and works well enough.
Usually, they fade gradually over months, but focus on safe skincare. Avoid any chemical peeling or strong scar creams without asking your doctor first, especially if you're breastfeeding. Just stick to basic safe moisturizers.
Let's be honest, they will not disappear completely, but they definitely fade to a very light shade. Wear them like a badge of honor! Keep your skin moisturized with regular petroleum jelly or olive oil.
I totally understand how hard it is to see these changes in your body, sweetie. But these marks are just beautiful reminders of the sweet little life you grew inside you. They will fade with time, so please be kind to yourself.
Actually, they fade from dark red/purple to light silver-white lines, but they don't fully vanish. Honestly, laser treatments help later if they bother you, but moisturizing keeps them manageable now. No big deal, focus on your baby!
