Hello!


First off, about the stretch marks:


Unfortunately, there aren't many proven effective ways of getting rid off them. It's important to know that over time they become less noticeable over time -even without treatment. But, ';... research has shown that tretinoin cream (Retin-A, Renova) may improve the appearance of recent stretch marks 鈥?those that are less than six weeks old and still pink or red in color.';


For older stretch marks you can see slight improvement with procedure like:


Microdermabrasion


Pulsed-dye laser therapy


Radiofrequency dermal remodeling


If you are concerned about the appearance of your stretch marks I suggest seeing a dermatologist and talking about treatment options.





About the blackheads:


Black heads are a type of acne called comedones. Perhaps see a doctor about a topical treatment that can help reduce your acne. You could also try finding a face wash that contains benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, salicylic acid or lactic acid as their active ingredient for mild acne.





I hope this has helped and I hope you take a look at the sites in my source.
