O/T- Stretch mark quesiton!

[X-treme]

I apologize in advanced if this is suppose to be in a different forum.

Considering most you work in the medical field and have a pretty good understanding of alot stuff, I'm wondering what kinda cream or other substance would prevent/reduce stretchmarks?

The reason I ask, is because I workout, and over the past few years I've gained size which lead to stretch marks on certain areas of my body which are gross. They're still red.. some have turned white, and I'm wondering if their is anything other then Vitamin-E gel that would prevent any more to appear?

I was thinking in a few years to get laser sugery done to them, but I've heard so many different reviews, it's like i'm gambling with my money.

If anyone could offer help I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks

Steve
