What should I do if my skin has stretch marks due to being overweight?
When skin develops cracks due to weight gain, the following measures can help improve and relieve the condition:
1. Weight loss: Gradually lose weight through a balanced diet and exercise program to help the skin regain its elasticity.
2. Keep skin moisturized: After daily bathing, apply moisturizing lotions or body oils all over the body, especially on areas where cracks appear, such as the abdomen and thighs.
3. Physical treatments: Laser therapy is an effective option that promotes collagen regeneration in the skin and reduces the appearance of cracks.
4. Avoid tight clothing; choose loose and comfortable garments to minimize friction and pressure on the skin.
5. Under medical guidance, topical medications may be applied locally to help improve skin cracks.
