As you can see, I have stretch marks 👀…. And so has Barbie too! 🤣 Where do you have stretch marks?? Please don’t feel pressured to “do something” about them... they are a normal part of life - all bodies stretch and there is nothing weird or ugly about that! Set your own beauty standards and ditch the shame. ❤️
I wish family members can stop judging us for having stretch marks!! It builds low-self esteem and it sucks 😭 but nowadays I DO NOT GIVE A TOSS! I am learning everyday to love my body as is.
I had stretch marks following the birth of my only child. My daughter used to love stroking my stretch marks. I think it was comforting to her. When she developed speech, she would call them 'tiger stripes' and tell me I was her 'tiger mom' . I loved how she not only saw them as a natural part of me but something positive. I embraced them from that point and honestly... I don't care that I have them. They're as much a part of me as my arms and legs are. By the way, my 26 year old daughter still calls them 'tiger stripes'.
That's cool for you 😎, I got one keep in mind I'm not a very big person and I was kind of at that time in my life I already had a toddlers and before I knew it I having and baby. They are both grown and parents too and being a grandma but they call me something else that I decided on and it fits and they smile when they say it. My stretch mark is hardly visible so, and it's faded and they all do I had them on my breasts and unless you have a magnifying glass you can't see them, stay strong and healthy and do what is going to be best for you so long as you don't get more scaring. That's what I always think about, they are Mommy marks, and like the doctor said use moisturizer all the time, stay hydrated don't, don't smoke, and take it easy on sugar, don't drink soda pop.
I feel so self conscious about my stretch marks because I have stretch marks all over my butt, thighs and legs. I feel bad because most of the people I see with stretch marks are the people who went through pregnancy or weight gain but I've never got pregnant or gained too much weight and I'm still quite young 😔
Thank you!! I have fair skin and live "across the pond" 😂 in Arizona, and I've been binge-watching your channel and have seriously appreciated your willingness to share education on these many topics. Trusted sources are verrrrrry difficult to come by, especially because so many experts with experience are also hiding professional biases (such as pro this idea, anti that philosophy, paid by this company, etc.). I love that you are evenhanded on every topic, even ones as simple as scented or unscented cleansers, and that your personal/professional opinions are clear and upfront AND that you explain your reasons for those opinions. As a viewer (and I'm sure your patients could say the same too), the fact that you do all these things as I have mentioned... really shows how much honor you give to each person, gifting to them, including me, a type of kindness and respect as a fellow human being that encourages me to make my own informed conclusions and increase my own autonomy with my unique, special, sacred body! Just like everyone else's!! 🥰😭 In short, thank you so much for all you are doing!!!! Much love to you and all others from your sister in the States. 🥰❤❤
My stretch marks started appearing when I started my puberty, since I had a really big growth spurt there has been a lot appearing so this video has been a lot of help!
@@rubibarai It’s been a year and I’ve started to love my self especially at a young age I was insecure but I’ve started to learn to not care what other people think!
There were so many specialist doctors explaining about womens problem,skin but i always find dr.simi explaination first.her voice is very soothing and comfort me to hear.always give us free knowledge about women problems.keep it up dr.cant wait to see your next videos.im sorry for my broken english .love u!!!
I am going on 17 and started taking an anti-depressant that caused rapid weight gain. I went from about 140lbs to 219lbs in a few months. Your video has really have me feel better about my stretch marks, the main ones I am insecure about are my dark purple stomach ones, hearing that stretch marks are way more common than I though is comforting and reassuring in a way. Thank you
Thank you for addressing this concern. I developed a form of dysmorphia after I had my baby. I was not use to seeing this at all. I’m now grateful for my growth that brought forth life.
I’ve now got new stretch marks on my tummy from falling unwell and gaining weight drastically and also now being severely bloated chronically. I came onto this to see how I could remove them, but now I’m thinking you know what these are battle scars! 💪🏻 I could be proud of what they show I’ve been through.
I don't know why but I love when you speak😍 When ever I run my hand over my stretch marks I don't only feel depression, I feel depressed!!!😂 I'm so glad again for this video😊very useful as always thank for sharing👏🏽❤
Hi Leone. You’re welcome. Stretch marks do affect self confidence and I think its helpful to see and be shown that they are normal and that you are not alone! Like I said, even Barbie has stretch marks! 😂
I'm so happy that you get to discussed about this topic right when you returned! I just recently started noticing that I have stretch marks on my thighs so I'm looking for a way to treat them. It's true that they do just fade overtime since I had one before that's now barely noticeable. It does sometimes gives me insecurities but then again it is normal! Just annoyingly itchiy when they first appear and I'm not sure if scratching them would only make them worse. Thank you making us feel comfortable with our own skin's natural "flaws" while educating us about stretch marks 😌
Good for others that could care less of their stretchmarks but I just cannot. I have them on my calves and its pretty huge. I got them during puberty when I played most of the yrs football. I tried embracing them as the others suggested by I honestly can't. It hinders me to wear shorts and dresses. I'm going for lasers finally! Thanks for all the treatments that you suggested 🥰
Hi Jane. Thank you for sharing your experience with us all. I hope you find the suggestions helpful and let us know how you get on with you laser treatment. And, try not to be so hard on yourself. ❤️
I have stretch marks on my hips & buttocks…. but only with my 3rd pregnancy. I do believe that it’s because I had my first 2 children in my 20’s and the 3rd child in my late 30’s. In my experience, young skin recovers faster and better from pregnancy stretching. Close to 40 (or older) skin doesn’t bounce back quickly, ergo stretch marks. African Raw Shea butter does help them fade and even almost disappear, along with manual self-massage and/or cupping❤️
My stretch marks are faded but I still hate them, they make me feel bad about myself but this video showed a lot of info and could really help me thank you! ❤
I've gained a lot of weight as a young girl. I've never experienced anything like this. Marks, blackheads, getting fat. I've been feeling so insecure that I'm literally trying anything to get better. Thanks so much for this advice doctor!
I have been skinny all my life and I started having stretch marks when I was,12 years old and now I'm in my 20sand still petite.i started seeing my stretch marks as cute tho😂 so try accepting ur stretch marks my love while working on getting better
Favourite GP♥️Thank you Doc😊. I've never understood the problem people have with stretch marks. According to me they are beautiful, they don't change how phenomenal women are in fact I think they make them even more beautiful😍♥️. Embrace them and just love yourself with them, you owe no one an explanation or a perfect body.
Hello, I normally get bored watching video's but yours kept the mind engaged. Thank you for sticking to your agenda and not going all over the place. I find this very refreshing and educational. Thank you. :) You seem very down to earth and caring unlike some doctors-professionals. Love the no-shame.
I used to be so self-conscious about my stretch marks and I have them in various places: the sides of my neck, the insides of my elbows as well as my stomach. But I've learned to accept them as just who I am, they are my tiger stripes
Thank you doc! This is so informative and I feel safe with these skin care products recommended by you. Could you please advice of what treatment I could use for my Varicose veins? Also, where can I get these stretch mark products to purchase?
I grew up as a chubby baby and I had stretch marks but they faded when I was about 15 years old , however at 18 I started having problems with my period and got diagnosed with PCOS but before the diagnosis I was given contraceptives in the form of injections and pills and the stretch marks came back with a vengeance. I really don't give a toss about them but people always point them out . It's annoying really.
I’ve had stretch marks since I was very young from puberty even though I was really skinny. I was so self-conscious about them for a long time. Now my daughter has them and I can tell her that it’s just a natural process and it’s nothing to be ashamed of ❤
Hello , Guys please do not use CO2 laser , my skin is light and I got stretchmarks from not hydrating enough and working out , and they are severe and really bad , now I can't take my shirt off or show my arms , I went to a clinic for Co2 laser treatment and they made the so much worse and much darker and pigmented , I wish I haven't used the laser , now I'm using hyaluronic acid and microneedling and I'm seeing good results, it's a long process but don't give up guys we can do this .
Dr Simi...hope you are well. Miss watch your health video. I watch them with my almost 13 year old daughter. She's had her menstrual cycle since she was 9 years old. She asks questions and I go to your video for the diagrams and knowledge. God bless
I find that kukui nut oil and good ole fashion coco butter works well in fading them. Stretch marks can happen to anybody, men also get them. For women, the most common areas are breasts, hip, butt cheeks, upper thighs, inner thighs. They're really ugly signs of your skin stretching. Strivectin also works in improving the look of stretch marks.
Got my first stretch marks as a teenager with Bulemia nervosa. One day I noticed the marks on my legs resembled the wave patterns in sand on the beach and decided they were actually kind of beautiful.
I used rose hip oil and shea butter cream, all natural and helped me so much for fading my stretch marks. Barely can see them after pregnancy I used them about 3 months.
I have stretch marks in many places but now at 9 months pregnant my stomach looks like a complete disaster I am watching this with hopes that one day I won’t give a toss
I had lost weigh and gained stretch marker in my belly after I stop working out as much. I didn’t gain any weigh but got them on my tummy. Broke my heart
Yep, I gained most of my height between grade 7 and grade 8. In that time, I gained a lot of stretch marks on my knees and hips. I used to hate them and have sought treatment for them in the past, but they were already silver and there was nothing to be done about them anymore. Now I'm ok with them. Still don't think I'll ever love them, but I have silver tiger stripes now at least.
Same dear but there is still hope of blending in to your skin to make it almost invisible. My friends mom brought some stretch marks products for her from Africa and now her stretch marks is almost all gone but I'm still here looking for solutions to my own stretch marks because I don't have $250 for only stretch marks mehn that's like almost my monthly salary
Hi Dr Simi ! First of all I love your chanel so much thank you for the great content ❤ Could you make a video about PCOS ? I feel like I don't really know what I can do about it except taking spiro/birth control, I feel kinda lost and I would like to know what I can change in my lifestyle to manage it ?
Just found your channel and I am hooked. I binge watch all yours videos. I love you channel, I only wish I found it sooner. Love you queen 👑 keep up the good work. You've got a new sub.
This came at such a perfect time! I was just worried about some new stretchmarks that appeared on my inner thighs and I have started massaging Bio-Oil in that area. What are your thoughts on Bio-Oil? Also is it okay to put on more hyaluronic acid cream products like you mentioned on top of the Bio-Oil? Thank you so much for your videos they are always so informative!! ❤️
Hi! You’re welcome! Glad you find my videos helpful. There isn’t much evidence that Bio-Oil helps improve the appearance of stretch marks. I would recommend putting the hyaluronic acid on first and if you still want to use Bio-Oil, then put that on top of the hyaluronic acid.
My sister used bottles of this for so long and it didn't work. I started having on my butt in junior secondary, I thought I was about to get a big butt but that never happened! Oh well🤦🏿♀
Hi! I Really liked you video because it informed me a lot about stretch marks. I had a question with what order should I apply the products you linked in the description?? Or do I apply them in the order you have listed them? And would you recommend to use all the products listed??
Very nice video. I got a stretch mark cream from mastoora beauty and it was amazing for my skin, I still have stretch marks 6 months on but I have had them since I was 14 and I'm now 32. So I'm hoping they will be gone in another 6 months or year. It will just take time I guess and most don't allow time
I’ve lost and gained a lot of weight several times due to childhood Henoch-Schönlein purpura, puberty, depression, and PCOS so I’ve got a lot of stretch marks all over. I don’t mind looking at them much these days although the ones on my stomach aren’t as nice. They have faded over time and don’t look so red and bad. The main issue with my stretch marks is that they seem to attract cysts and spots, especially on the inner thighs. And because the skin is bumpy it makes it harder to shave. I’ve heard that urea would help but I’m going to try out hyaluronic acid or tretinoin to see how it goes just so that my thighs are a bit smoother.
I have them on the inside portion of my knees and they are light , so they are easily seen because I'm black . I use to be verrry insecure about them . But now I hardly notice . You just get use to the changes 👍👍. Aka .. I DONT GIVEA TOSS👏👏. Lol I love this saying now
Wow just love your video, very very helpful...you mentioned Retinol and Niacinamide , how do i apply this serums on my inner thighs, please what are the steps to using this..thank you
Hello Dr. Simi, could you please make a video about how to know what type of skin (face) I have and which products/ingredients to include in our daily skincare routines for our respective skin types. It would mean so much!!
I developed stretch marks on my tummy area when i got pregnant 3rd trimester actually and they stretched further with my second pregnancy. I wish i would care less about them but i love crop tops as such i always have to be cautious my high waist hasnt slagged down. I really wish i would embrace them but the expansion of them made them worse than what I had accepted. Thanks for sharing the solutions hopefully i can find the easy method in my country
Hey Dr, I wanted to ask something to you... I need to know how can I clean my skin because I have pimples all over my body and they have this white Juicy thing, also I wanted to ask if eating soil can destroy or make some damages, if ever one day I want to have children, Will it affects me??
Just discovered this channel and it’s fab, so informative! Any chance you could make videos about prolapses? (bladder etc) and menopausal symptoms? that would be great 😊👍🏼
I suddenly have so many stretch marks over the last couple of months while I'm treating my eczema with corticosteroids. They spread over my tummy, arms on my sides and my thigs. I am so shocked so I stopped using the corticosteroids. : (
Mam i got stretch mark due to ganing weight ....can I reduce stretch mark by reducing my weight ? And .....I must tell you this that I like you a lot ...u are beautiful 😘😘❤...and thank you for awesome video
It's been so long darling...I've missed you so so much😍😍😍. This video actually motivated me to continue loving my body the way I do now...it was very informative as well. Please be doing more videos for us🤗 I bet I'm not the only one that has missed you😄😍❤
Hi Esther, this comment made me smile! ☺️ Thank you! And I’m, so pleased to learn that my video motivated you to continue to love yourself! ❤ I’ve missed you all too. I will definitely try to post more often!
Love your channel, thank you for providing this very important information! I would love to see a video on women's vitamins/probiotics! Are they effective? Thank you!
I’ve had stretch marks since I was pregnant with my first child 23 1/2 yrs ago. Very wide ones on my hips especially. I also have stretch marks on the front of my thighs, lower stomach and butt cheeks. What can I do to treat my OLD stretch marks? Also, my sister was just recently diagnosed with Cushings Disease after struggling with symptoms for 8 years. I have been thin all my life besides my pregnancies. About 3 years ago I gained about 46lbs in the matter of just a few months. I have recently been told my thyroid is under active and have been place on meds for it. I have lost no weight no matter how hard I try. I diet, I barely eat and still see zero results. I’ve had a full hysterectomy in 2008 and based on my sisters reccomendation has had tons of blood work done to check my levels. I don’t feel as though my family Dr is equipped to deal with such issues. I have been referred to an endocrinologist for my thyroid issues in hopes to figure out whatever it is that my body is going through. This weight gain has me down and out, extremely self conscious to the point I don’t want to be around people, especially the ones that know me and see the weight gain. My stretch marks have always made me insecure, I haven’t worn a regular bathing suit for 24 years! It’s always a pair of shorts or a bathing suit skirt. Please any advice and suggestions you have based on the above are greatly appreciated. I will try anything!!
My lower stomach has just gained really deep red stretch marks and I’m stressing out. I really don’t want them to continue stretching over my entire stomach, I already struggle with my body and if these stretch marks grow even more it’s going to kill any confidence I have. Please help. What can I do?
As you can see, I have stretch marks 👀…. And so has Barbie too! 🤣 Where do you have stretch marks??
Please don’t feel pressured to “do something” about them... they are a normal part of life - all bodies stretch and there is nothing weird or ugly about that! Set your own beauty standards and ditch the shame. ❤️
I have stretch marks under my stomach and my legs after giving birth to my son, and it very worrying me.

i got mine after gaining a lot of weight in a short time. I feel very self consious about them, especially since they are still like red/blue 😭
Same
I have stretch marks in many places but now at 9 months pregnant my stomach looks like a complete disaster I am watching this with hopes that one day I won’t give a toss
I had lost weigh and gained stretch marker in my belly after I stop working out as much. I didn’t gain any weigh but got them on my tummy. Broke my heart
So glad to see you again! Thanks so much for the information.
Glad to be back! You're welcome!😊
Just got the time to watch ur vid...I accepted my stretch marks years ago just want to lose my belly fat safely..thnx for that
Dr Adedeji videos needs to be shared so educational!!!
I loved the variation of skin tones you displayed. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome!
Yep, I gained most of my height between grade 7 and grade 8. In that time, I gained a lot of stretch marks on my knees and hips. I used to hate them and have sought treatment for them in the past, but they were already silver and there was nothing to be done about them anymore. Now I'm ok with them. Still don't think I'll ever love them, but I have silver tiger stripes now at least.
Same dear but there is still hope of blending in to your skin to make it almost invisible. My friends mom brought some stretch marks products for her from Africa and now her stretch marks is almost all gone but I'm still here looking for solutions to my own stretch marks because I don't have $250 for only stretch marks mehn that's like almost my monthly salary
How can I remove back spots
@@josephineatanga6352 what is the names of the products
Hi Dr Simi ! First of all I love your chanel so much thank you for the great content ❤ Could you make a video about PCOS ? I feel like I don't really know what I can do about it except taking spiro/birth control, I feel kinda lost and I would like to know what I can change in my lifestyle to manage it ?
Hi, thank you so much! ❤ Thank you for the video suggestion too! I will be uploading a video about this soon.
I wish you were my personal Doctor 😊😊😊😊❤. You are sooo welcoming
Just found your channel and I am hooked. I binge watch all yours videos. I love you channel, I only wish I found it sooner. Love you queen 👑 keep up the good work. You've got a new sub.
Hey love! I’m so glad I found you, Can you please make a video for “how to lose weight when you have Hypothyroidism?” Please
This came at such a perfect time! I was just worried about some new stretchmarks that appeared on my inner thighs and I have started massaging Bio-Oil in that area. What are your thoughts on Bio-Oil? Also is it okay to put on more hyaluronic acid cream products like you mentioned on top of the Bio-Oil? Thank you so much for your videos they are always so informative!! ❤️
Hi! You’re welcome! Glad you find my videos helpful. There isn’t much evidence that Bio-Oil helps improve the appearance of stretch marks. I would recommend putting the hyaluronic acid on first and if you still want to use Bio-Oil, then put that on top of the hyaluronic acid.
I'm almost done with a big bottle of the Bio-Oil and it literally did NOTHING for my stretch marks. NOTHING.
Bio oil doesn’t work
My sister used bottles of this for so long and it didn't work. I started having on my butt in junior secondary, I thought I was about to get a big butt but that never happened! Oh well🤦🏿♀
I use Shea butter for some weeks now and mine has lighten. It’s less visible ( beurre de karité)
Hi! I Really liked you video because it informed me a lot about stretch marks. I had a question with what order should I apply the products you linked in the description?? Or do I apply them in the order you have listed them? And would you recommend to use all the products listed??
Very nice video. I got a stretch mark cream from mastoora beauty and it was amazing for my skin, I still have stretch marks 6 months on but I have had them since I was 14 and I'm now 32. So I'm hoping they will be gone in another 6 months or year.
It will just take time I guess and most don't allow time
I’ve lost and gained a lot of weight several times due to childhood Henoch-Schönlein purpura, puberty, depression, and PCOS so I’ve got a lot of stretch marks all over. I don’t mind looking at them much these days although the ones on my stomach aren’t as nice. They have faded over time and don’t look so red and bad. The main issue with my stretch marks is that they seem to attract cysts and spots, especially on the inner thighs. And because the skin is bumpy it makes it harder to shave. I’ve heard that urea would help but I’m going to try out hyaluronic acid or tretinoin to see how it goes just so that my thighs are a bit smoother.
Would collagenpowder be a good prevention?
Dr. Simi, what's your take on Red Light Therapy?
Started tretinion a month ago and I have started seeing results,but the purge period nearly made me to give up but I’m glad I didn’t
I have them on the inside portion of my knees and they are light , so they are easily seen because I'm black . I use to be verrry insecure about them . But now I hardly notice . You just get use to the changes 👍👍.
Aka .. I DONT GIVEA TOSS👏👏. Lol I love this saying now

Hello Dr. Simi, could you please make a video about how to know what type of skin (face) I have and which products/ingredients to include in our daily skincare routines for our respective skin types. It would mean so much!!
I'm looking into CO2 Cool Laser because from my research it's safe for black skin and works on white stretch marks?
I developed stretch marks on my tummy area when i got pregnant 3rd trimester actually and they stretched further with my second pregnancy. I wish i would care less about them but i love crop tops as such i always have to be cautious my high waist hasnt slagged down. I really wish i would embrace them but the expansion of them made them worse than what I had accepted. Thanks for sharing the solutions hopefully i can find the easy method in my country

I’ve had stretch marks since I was pregnant with my first child 23 1/2 yrs ago. Very wide ones on my hips especially. I also have stretch marks on the front of my thighs, lower stomach and butt cheeks. What can I do to treat my OLD stretch marks? Also, my sister was just recently diagnosed with Cushings Disease after struggling with symptoms for 8 years. I have been thin all my life besides my pregnancies. About 3 years ago I gained about 46lbs in the matter of just a few months. I have recently been told my thyroid is under active and have been place on meds for it. I have lost no weight no matter how hard I try. I diet, I barely eat and still see zero results. I’ve had a full hysterectomy in 2008 and based on my sisters reccomendation has had tons of blood work done to check my levels. I don’t feel as though my family Dr is equipped to deal with such issues. I have been referred to an endocrinologist for my thyroid issues in hopes to figure out whatever it is that my body is going through. This weight gain has me down and out, extremely self conscious to the point I don’t want to be around people, especially the ones that know me and see the weight gain. My stretch marks have always made me insecure, I haven’t worn a regular bathing suit for 24 years! It’s always a pair of shorts or a bathing suit skirt. Please any advice and suggestions you have based on the above are greatly appreciated. I will try anything!!
Hi, so i can apply my tretinoin 0,05% cream that i use for my face on my stretch marks???
My lower stomach has just gained really deep red stretch marks and I’m stressing out. I really don’t want them to continue stretching over my entire stomach, I already struggle with my body and if these stretch marks grow even more it’s going to kill any confidence I have. Please help. What can I do?
