From the thousands of emails I get through the past few years regarding stretch marks, the most depressing stretch marks stories are those caused by medications (hormonal, steroids related). Below is a list* of a few medications that may cause severe stretch marks. The purpose of this page is to inform you of the side effects of these medications. Consult with your doctors about the side effects of thinning of skin when prescribed with these medications.

Prednisone
(Reported the most by stretch marks victims)
Prescribed for lupus, Nephrotic Syndrome--kidney problem; skin conditions, asthma and a wide range of diseases. It is very strong and not intended to be used heavily for a long period of time. There are irresponsible doctors who would prescribe it for minor skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis and the patients sometimes end up with even more problematic skin.

Dianette
Birth Control for woman

Mometasone Furoate cream Also Known as Elocon
(A type of skin lotion prescribed for skin conditions)

Depo Pervera
Birth control shot

Corticosteroid such as Methylprednisone Dospak

Some anti depression prescriptions may also cause stretch marks. It is also my understanding that depression itself could be linked to skin disorders such as acne and stretch marks.


Read some of the emails** I receive:

Hello:
       I have severe to moderate stretch marks all over my body. I have been on many medications for my skin conditions (eczema and acne).  Many forms of prednisones and cortisones including the one you mentioned (Elocon). I even was on Depo provera.  At the time I had no idea these medications would do this to me.  When I was on the medication I would have to wear stretch pants and jeans to protect my skin from rubbing up against something and literally peeling off.  I went into the doctors with a moderate problem of eczema and ended up with a severe case of eczema and secondary infections and what I found most helpful after all of that was to stay away from medicines that would thin my skin and other simple solutions.  After all of that treatment I have scars from scratches, acne, stretch marks from pregnancies and around my breast from being ingorged.  I have been building back my skin for 2 years and I'm excited to try your product.  


       Sincerely,
       Sara Friedman
