While pregnancy is the leading cause of stretch marks, it’s not the only one. Weight gain and other factors can affect anyone, mom or not. As I wrote about in “The Road To Getting In Shapeâ€, I am currently working with a personal trainer and making a lot of major lifestyle changes. Last year was extremely hectic, and I got out of shape because I didn’t make time to work out or take care of myself. One place I gained weight was my chest -which would be OK, except that the rapid change caused some small stretch marks to appear. I actually saw an ad for Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy on TV a while ago and scribbled down the name, because I had intended to purchase some to see if it would work. So when Mederma offered me a chance to try the product free of charge, that was even better!
Despite the fact that one commercial made me want to try this, I was quite skeptical as to whether this would work or not. But Mederma says that their product works best on newly formed stretch marks, so I figured I was a perfect candidate to try it! Unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction to the product within a few days of using it. I’ve mentioned before how sensitive my skin is, and I have to be careful which products I use because it is not unusual for me to develop a rash if the chemicals don’t agree with me. Sadly, this was the case with the Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy, and red bumps appeared all over the skin I applied it to. I took a break from using the product to let the skin heal, but I do want to try it again and see if my skin can get used to it – just because I really would love for it to work for me. But we’ll have to see how it goes!

Basically, when suffering from acne, the body rushes white blood cells and an array of inflammatory molecules to fight infection and repair the damage. Though this response is effective, it can lead to the formation of fibrous scar tissue.
