Bad Stretch Marks Solutions - Options For Sufferers of Severe Striae Scarring

If you suffer from particularly bad stretch marks, be it a particularly large and ugly scar on one part of your body, or scarring that occurs on multiple regions of your body, you know it is particularly distressing, as those with smaller scars or scars concentrated to one part of the body have multiple options for treating or concealing their stretched skin, while you may find yourself unable to completely cover or hide your scarring.

The other unfortunate fact is, those with bad stretch marks often have the problem that larger, deeper scarring is less responsive to treatment than lighter scars. In this article we'll look at some strategies you can try to help when dealing with severe striae scarring.

Particularly bad stretch marks can be unresponsive or very slow to respond to creams and lotions, and this often applies to even the stronger prescription creams. The trick to help your more developed and deeper scarring to begin to regenerate is through consistency and giving that topical cream a helping hand through boosting vitamins.

Consistency is very important when dealing with bad stretch marks. While those with lighter scarring can get away with applying treatment once or twice a day, say morning and night, you are going to have to be very vigilant and consistent with your application. This means applying treatment multiple times a day, at around the same time, every day, with no exceptions. This can be hard for those with busy schedules, but if you want to see improvement, you need to make the time. Keeping this scheduling is important, as the skin becomes acclimatized to receiving the regenerative cream in the same amounts each day. When you miss an application, this throws the skin's chemistry into upheaval, and can often lead to your healing process almost going back to square one.

Keeping the right vitamins at the right levels in your body is also incredibly important. Diet is important, but equally as important are supplements, and also application of the vitamins to the skin itself. Eat a healthy and balanced diet, with emphasis on foods containing vitamins A, E and C. You will want to also boost the levels of these three skin repairing vitamins through taking daily supplements. If you can find the gelcap versions of these supplements, you can use them as a double attack on your bad stretch marks by taking the caps daily and also squeezing the oil from two or three gelcaps and applying it to your scarring three to four times a day. This is a cheap and effective method that many men and women are using with great results. If you cannot get the gelcap versions of these supplements, you will have to purchase the topical and oral pill version separately. When purchasing the topical vitamins, the best products to go for are the pure oil versions, which can be expensive but have been seen to be the most effective.

Additionally, to keep those bad stretch marks in regeneration mode, stay hydrated at all times, which means drinking 8 glasses of water a day, and totally avoid nasties like alcohol, caffeine and saturated fats. All this can be arduous and inconvenient, but if you can manage it all and really stick to it, you'll see real improvements.
