k so this is a little embarassing, luckily this is anonymous, so its alright i guess, lol i have a huge problem right now. lol so heres my sittuation, i started working out when i was fifteen, im seventeen now. When i was fifteen i was 6'1, about 140 pounds, i desperatly wanted to get big, i was all skin and bone. I am now just turned seventeen, and way 205, with a 13 percent body fat, needless to say i couldnt be happier and ive really enjoyed the whole experience, but theres one problem. I put on a lot of weight really fast, and i cant tell if my pecs just have a lot of fat around them, or if the skins stretched from getting to big to fast, but it seems like the skin around my pecs are sagging. I dont wanna stop bulking quite yet, but im scared that if i put on to much weight, theyll start to stretch even more. Im hopping if i lose weight then itll just correct itself, but i really cant tell. Any advice?

I didn't know so I googled for it.
http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_body/skin_stuff/stretch_marks.html
Basically, it says: "Yeah, it's possible to get stretch marks through bodybuilding, and that you can only remove them with the help of a dermatologist."
But note that it's written by a MD, so it's not exactly unbiased. Although, I do doubt that most stretch mark treatments work.
It is fairly common among men and women, so I'm sure you could find advice from someone you trust.
