I have recently started getting stretch marks on upper chest towards the sides. I am slightly concerned about this, although it does indicate growth of muscle at a fast rate, they are fairly unsightly. Has anyone else experienced this problem in the same area?

How long do they normally take to go/calm down?

get yourself some bio oil from the chemist mate, works wonders at reducing the redness

Years ago, before bio-oil came out, it was cocoa butter. Don't know if it ever helped, but you used to smell like an easter egg!

Mine were only inches from joining up across my chest at one stage when I was about 22. Nowadays they are barely noticeable, just near the sides where they are wider. They fade with time and the skin looks more normal.
But when new and purple, they are a touch unsightly.
Mosty comes down to genetics and the flexibility of your skin.

I have had them since i was about 10 on my @rse and hips from running all the time as a kid (competitively) they can only be seen when you really look now, it just looks like not very smooth skin nowadays
