Q:  I am so pissed off right now!  I have started to develop stretch marks on my biceps after lifting heavy, but noticed the other day that I now have them in the oddest place – in the inside of my thighs. Should I use something to prevent or treat them?

A:  This is more common than you think. But there are deep stretch marks and superficial ones. If you’re talking about the skin that is really thin next to your groin area, they are likely white ones that are faint looking. They shouldn’t be red. If they are, that’s something I can’t address. You probably never have looked at any other male in that area ever, so you don’t know really what the norm is. But I can tell you, it’s fairly common.  That’s really sensitive skin that feathers out from the genitals and then becomes thicker skin. But, if it bothers you, you can do one thing that may help – buy a tube of Strivectin. They sell it at the department stores. It is a great cream and actually does help.  Other than that, there is nothing else I can say.  If you want to use Strivectin on your biceps, you could do that too.  Drink lots of water, as hydration is key. And remember, you have them because you’re growing. If your mate/ girlfriend doesn’t mind it, you shouldn’t either.
