So I have an old stretch mark that is deciding to open up. It's in a not great location

It is splitting across it...and the mark itself is kind of large across anyways...like an inch or so,

Anyways...how do you stop this when you can't bandaid it and frankly the weird thing is there is no pain, so I have to remember to check on it. It's been getting longer all day.

Sorry for TMI!

Can't bandaid it? what about something like a butterfly bandage? or tape cut in that shape?

Maybe coconut oil? vitamin E oil?

I tried the coconut and no effect. I used some antibiotic ointment too. Just annoying!

I didn't think about a butterfly...that could sit along the mark itself...its In the bikini area

hence the no bandaid...haha.

I was thinking vitamin E...and maybe you could obtain some steri-strips (what some surgeons use in place of staples)? They are strong and pretty waterproof.

yeah if if you angle it along the mark you can get the strips across it witout extending far out from it.
