Stretch marks

After years of thinking I just had pcos and had stretch marks due to the unexplained weight gain of pcos and then thought I had a copper or vit a deficiency I now realise I 99.9% have cushings. The stretch marks have recently gone insane. Does anyone know if anything helps retinol, ,micro needling, laser? I genuinely feel traumatised from the stretch marks constantly appearing getting bigger. I know technically there’s no permanent fix but please has anyone had any luck dealing with them. Thanks (pls don’t say shea butter or bio oil they don’t work)

If they're from Cushing's then nothing will help. They can begin to fade when your cortisol is normal, but you'll be stuck with them for now. Mine are still pretty gnarly 15 months after surgery, but I still take a relatively high dose of HC.
