Arm stretch marks (striae) cannot be completely removed, but you can make them lighter and smoother by regular care; apply moisturising creams daily with ingredients like cocoa butter, hyaluronic acid, or Tretinoin (only if prescribed) to improve skin texture, gently massage the area, and keep your weight stable to prevent new marks. Staying well hydrated and eating protein- and vitamin-rich foods also helps skin repair; for better results, a dermatologist can suggest treatments

Tretin 0.025% Cream is mainly used for acne and improving skin texture. It may help reduce the appearance of new stretch marks, but it is less effective on older stretch marks and not suitable for all body areas. It works by improving skin texture and collagen levels, but results can take time and vary from person to person. Consult a dermatologist before using it for stretch marks to ensure safe and proper use.

If you have a wound or sore below the penis, it is important to get checked for possible sexually transmitted infections like Syphilis, Genital herpes, or Chancroid; you should visit a doctor or STD clinic for proper examination and tests such as blood tests and swab tests. Until then, keep the area clean and dry, avoid sexual contact, and do not apply random creams, as correct diagnosis is needed for proper treatment.

Tretin 0.025% cream is a prescription-strength retinoid and should not be used without a doctor’s guidance, as incorrect use can cause irritation or worsen acne. It is essential to consult a dermatologist who can advise you on safe use and tell you whether Lakme Peach Milk moisturiser is suitable to use alongside it, based on your skin type and condition.

For oily skin with blackheads, sebaceous filaments, and large pores, a gentle foaming or gel cleanser such as Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser, CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, or La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Gel can be used twice daily to help control oil and keep pores clear. If you are already using adapalene, it is generally not recommended to use Tretin 0.025% Cream simultaneously without medical supervision, as both are topical retinoids that may increase the risk of irritation; typically, only one is used at a time. When switching to tretinoin, start with applications 2–3 nights per week, gradually increasing the frequency as tolerated. Always apply sunscreen daily, as retinoids increase sun sensitivity. It is essential to consult your dermatologist for medical advice before starting or modifying these treatments, as recommendations should be tailored to your specific skin condition, tolerance, and treatment goals.

While you may have read online that Tretin 0.025% Cream can help stretch marks, it is important to get a proper diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional. A doctor can evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate and safe treatment plan. Do not use tretinoin on your own, as it can cause irritation, peeling, or increased sensitivity and may delay effective treatment.
