If you had two of the most renowned skincare experts cornered at a party, what would you ask them? Our Derm RF feature, “Ask the Doctors,” will give you on-call access to hear straight from Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields with answers to your most pressing skin concerns. What do you recommend for stretch marks on the belly left behind from pregnancy? Dr. Kathy Fields: Stretch marks, or striae, appear as skin is increasingly stretched during pregnancy, resulting in rips, or microscars, in the dermal layer of your skin. They may initially surface as pink or red streaks running down your abdomen, breasts, hips, thighs and even arms, then gradually fade to a lighter color.
