Questions About Stretch marks and Discoloration

So I basically jelq and pump. I’ve just added O bends to my routine. I have stretch marks and some discoloration. First question is are the stretch marks do to jelqing or pumping or both? Same goes for discoloration. I feel it’s from pumping, but not sure. Second part question is what can I do to clear up both issues? I’ve been applying vitamin E, arnica cream and palmers stretch mark cream for the last few months but it doesn’t seem to be improving. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Stretch marks can be normal. For me I had them from my puberty growth, they also become less noticeable while errect - in my case. They develop from sudden and dramatic changes in size or from constant stretching. The skin needs to adapt and change to accommodate the new size and for some this develops stretch marks. Some people are more prone to get stretch marks than other based on such factors as genetics and diet. Stretch marks can be hard to get rid of or limit their appearance. Hitting them immediately is your best bet and it sounds like you’re using the right kinda stuff to help limit and prevent them - to some degree they may be inevitable for you however if you’re prone to getting them.
