Hi I had cervical cancer at 21 years old , radiotherapy and total Hysterectomy and a cesarean section all within 6-8 weeks. I have two healthy children luckily ! but I struggle with my stomach due to scarring from my belly button down to my pubic bone and also other scarring and stretch marks all over my stomach . Every day I look in the mirror and hate what I see. I am constantly dieting to try and help but being fatter helps to hide the scarring and marks. It is my second bottom !! Help Help Help . But I'm very unhappy being fatter. what can I do. I'm desperate for help.

Hello,
I have multiple white stretch marks on my breasts, upper arms, thighs, groin, stomach and hips. The stretch marks on my breasts first appeared when I was ten when I started to develop I was large breasted by the age of eleven. Until my late teens, early twenties those were the only ones I had. When I became a student, then started an office job I gained quite a lot of weight, on average a stone a year, from 8 stone until I reached my top weight of 13 1/2 St, which at 5ft is very big! I currently weigh 10.13, and have lost the weight slowly (over 18 months) through healthy eating and exercise. However despite losing weight slowly, it fels like my skin isn't really tightening properly as I have so many stretch marks – it feels almost like I have ripped my skin and it's baggy, which is quite disheartening considering all the hard work I have put in and the amount of bio oil I use! Is there anything I can do to tighten the skin or am I destined to look like I'm wearing somebody else's skin forever? I really hope not, as the thought of this has me considering going back to my lazy unhealthy ways just so my skin looks full again! Which is something I really don't want to do.
Yours hopefully, S
Hi, i'm 17 years old and had a little girl a year ago. I have stretch marks on my boobs, bum, hips, legs and tummy. They're quite deep and painful. Some have faded but some are still appearing! They're really obvious and wondered if there was anything I could do. I've used all creams I can buy! Hope to hear from you soon! X
