Cleanup

Cleaned up a bit, put in commas, etc. --Ebb 02:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


And then I took one line regarding cures from the first section to the section about cures. - Veeliam 17:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Striae

support - i'd support the proposed merge between Stretch marks and striae, since they seem to be the same thing. I'm no expert though, maybe there is a subtle distinction? Spute 21:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The external links seemed to indicate they are the same. No one has raised an objection in ten days, so I merged them. Thanks.--Kchase T 09:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Another meaning?

Striae also means those wavy hazy lines you see in the air, right?

Trofolastin

Just wanted to mention I have replaced a deleted reference to trofolastin in the article under prevention and cure. I feel that Trofolastin should be included as it is the only published controlled study I could find which empirically tested the efficacy of topical creams on the prevention of stretchmarks in what is a multi $m industry.

The editor who removed the reference made a comment that mentioning Trofolastin is a 'major product push' and that trofolastin is available all over the internet. I do not feel this is accurate. The product is a prescription item and is not available outside of Spain. However, importantly, its ingredients are. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Griffibo (talk • contribs) 14:20, 14 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Contradicts

The article kind of contradicts itself. In the first section it says it is not due to stretching of the skin. In the second section is says it is due to increased glucocorticoids in the blood stream keeping the skin from remaining taut due to execessive stretching. Am I crazy?

External links

If anyone has a concern regarding the external link to a commercial website, please reread the official Wikipedia policy:
