Stretch marks??
Question: over the last few years, i have gained a LOT of weight. like over 30 pounds. (most of this is due to medication). so now i have lost 20 of it and i'm seeing stretch marks. i thought i got them when i GAINED? so why am i seeing them now when i'm losing?
Answers: The reason for seeing stretch marks now is because when you lost a significant amount of weight, your skin in still intact as it was when you gained a significant amount of weight.
Here's a good site that gives you good information/tips to getting rid of them.

You are seeing them now when you are losing because your skin has been stretched out and now it is going back down so you are going to see the stretch marks. What helps is to use coco butter on them and you will notice a difference after a while. Great job on losing the weight.
You see them when you lose because your skin is getting loose from the weight loss.
When you were bigger the fat kept the skin stretched so you didn't notice them. They were there though. Make sure you lotion us and drink plenty of water to minimize the appearence of them.
Good luck
You might try a touch of Vitamin E oil, either bottle or caps you can poke a pin in & squeeze out. Cocoa Butter & Vit e both help fade them a bit.
I was actually told last night that I have them from both the weight gain AND loss... its the change in the elasticity of the skin... If you are young they will go away over time, and to help the appearance of them in the meanwhile try some Vitamin E oil or Mederma if you can afford it... Mederma is mainly Vitamin E with other nutrients and moisturizing agents for your skin...
can you mention what type of drugs you're taking (is it related to steroids or OCPs)?
