Amazing progress! well done! I don't know if there is much you can do to get rid of stretch marks but I don't think you need to be self conscious of them as you are looking good! Stretch marks are a result of weak collagen. In order to help PREVENT them you need to have enough zinc in your diet. Zinc helps with forming strong collagen fibres. That's about as far as my knowledge on stretch marks extends to :)

I think the only people who really champion bio oil are those that sell it ;)

Derms will recommend a moisturiser high in vitamin E but don't expect magic... Scar tissue doesn't just disappear but it does fade over time

Once you have dem der abs showing and a bit of a tan, you'll care a lot less about the marks! Doesn't sound like you're particularly bothered by them now anyway so good shit

Anyway, GJDM on the lard loss, keep at it!

Only take zinc if you are already deficient, otherwise it isn't going to do much. If you eat plenty of meat and take a multi then I wouldn't bother taking more. There is no real proof that zinc makes stretch marks go away but being zinc deficient can make them appear or be worse than they might have been.

Retin-A cream has been shown to reduce them but the only real cure is time and not giving a fukc about them :)
