I have stretch marks like no other. Getting them in your armpit area close to chest and biceps is normal, I have had friends get them across their entire pecs. I have them in the place you speak of plus on my rear, on my thighs, and in my groin area similar to the ones in my armpit but worse. I got the lower body ones when I had my 35 lbs of beginner gains and was also riding a bicycle as my means of transportation, my legs and butt got huge. The appearance of stretch marks can go away over time, but there are tons of things you can put on it and hope it does something. You can try this, but try and learn to live with them as well.

They'll fade over time, don't worry about them. I used to care about them when they were red but you can barely see them now.

I had limited success with Cocoa butter but I stopped applying it due to being tired of it. Cocoa butter comes in a huge container, you get a lot of it, you can not eat this stuff, don't be fooled by how good it smells. (No, I didn't try and eat it.) I have BIG stretch marks a plenty, remnants of a failed lifestyle.
Three week keto test run Started July 19 It will work, or I'm done dieting.

Guys, get some vitamin E oil. The stuff works wonders on scars and stretch marks, even some older one. In 2002, I had brain surgery, and was cut along my hairline from right of center to below my left ear. I had resigned myself to having a disfiguring scar for the rest of my life. One of the nurses told my mom while visiting that I should apply some vitamin E oil and the scar would disappear. I never thought anything more about it but mom did and some 3 or 4 weeks after surgery she came over with a bottle of oil. To make her happy I did apply the oil, twice about a week apart, and the scar disappeared. About the only trace of it that can be seen is when my hair is freshly cut there is a small area where it no longer grows. When I was loosing weight a couple of years ago it occurred to me to try the oil on my abdomen in hope that it would reduce loose or sagging skin after I lost weight. I’m better than 60 pounds lighter and have little of any sagging skin, except for that little bit between, ah never mind about that. Anyway, I’m convinced the vitamin E works. Perhaps I’ll post some before and after photos of the scar.

Im glad to hear a few of you have them on your groin. Mine are like actual rips, the stretch mark is purple and actually dints in a little. Ive learned to live with them, but still unsighlty. Got them on my a55, few on my biceps and behind my knees (i got bigger legs which is when i think they got worse).
