How does /fit/ deal with stretch marks?
Mine are on my arms and look like pic related but not as many. But the more I lift more show up. How do I fix them or at least stop the spread?
your diet is shit and you need 15mins of sun most days
Theres special oil pregnant women use for stretch marks, you could try that.

Yes.

is that genetics, why don't I see every big dude with huge stretchmarks?
dont worry they banish overtime

No, they don't. Stretch marks are scars. Like any other scar, they tend to lighten with age, but they don't just magically go away for most people, especially if you don't specifically try to make them fade.

Some of it is genetics just based on your skin, some of it is how fast you got big. It's scarring from making your skin stretch, so if you go up gradually, it doesn't happen/isn't as bad.

Moisturizing with good lotion like Aveeno will prevent more showing up in the future

I dont, I let them be.
They are something to be proud off. They remind you howuch you've advanced
So my question is what's actually growing? Is it the pecs, the biceps, or the shoulders?
The ones by the armpits not the ones in op through the chest

They're only going to get worse if you keep lifting. You should start cutting right now. And if they're still red go to your doctor and not the internet to get a recommendation.
Also you're probably gaining too fast and its most likely fat.
Cocoa butter. No I'm serious. Slather yourself in that shit, its great for marks.

Can it be a problem with natty lifting or only when injecting the liquid jew?

ps bio oil is hyaluronic acid. That is a hydrophilic compound. What happens is the bio oil accepts binds with some water and flattens the surface of the skin. It is only effective as long as there is bio oil on you.
Actually now that I think about it, I don't think bio oil had much if any hyaluronic acid.
