I'll get to the point- can you get stretch marks over old ones? My new ones look like blotches almost just red on the ends of my old ones. Do i just bio oil to help the redness? Also my hair is gross. Dry scalp but greasy- what do I do? Thank you very much for reading.

I haven't yet had the pleasure (!) but I believe you can get new stretchmarks over old ones. Yeah, if they bother you I would do something about it and sooner rather than later. I really rate Phytaoil - it's all natural and really seems to improve the appearance of stretchmarks. They were offering free samples a while ago but I think you might have missed the boat now. They should have stockist info on their website though.

Not sure I can help on the hair front I'm afraid!

They dont look too bad but its just the redness. Thank you will look into that stuff. Anybody else.

Yes - my stretchmarks have stretchmarks. To be perfectly honest, it seems like whatever unguents and oils you put on your stretchmarks, your stretchmarks will fade over time, but never go.

As for the dry scalp but greasy hair, I totally had that. What I'd do is use a dry scalp shampoo (oilatum or t-gel) then after drying my hair put aveeno all over my scalp, especially on the dry bits (and a little eumovate or hydrocortisone if itchy) and leave it for 12-24 hours. I sometimes also leave on conditioner while I'm there. I then don't leave the house until I've rinsed it out.

I find that keeps me going for 2-3 weeks with the dry scalp so I can just wash my hair as normal. You don't have to use aveeno, something like diprobase or even aqueous cream would work just as well.

naetha- alas i thought time was the only option. The aveeno- i have daily moisturising cream is that what you mean? Sorry if its not.
