starting to get stretch marks in my underarm and growing towards my shoulder. Currently i am on a 6 day spilt (chest/tris,back/bis,legs/abs 2x a week) been taking creatine and my body weight in grams of protein. Been doing this for over a month, have gotten gains but i have noticed the stretch marks on both sides. Im cycling off creatine atm to bring down the swelling and have lightened my workouts; what else can i do to avoid making it worse as i progress?

Try rubbing vitamin E cream on them two to three times per day.

oops, not good! stretching during or after strength training is the stupidest thing you can do. ROM, and a good stretching is not necessary
