Hi there

 

I am wondering what you have decided to do.

 

Are you talking about Mederma which is frequently used for reducing the appearance of stretch marks?

 

I would trust your doctor and think about having the laser procedure done.  It will probably be much more effective than using an over the counter product. 

 

Let us know how things have worked out for you.  Thank you for your question.
