Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
usually stretch marks (what you called by cracks in the skin due to rapid change weight)are difficult to remove especially if they turn white ,since your skin are newly stretched then probably it is red and you can still make something ,
To treat red stretch marks you will need to adapt a healthier lifestyle. Eating a lot of vegetables and fruits does not only lower your risk of fatal diseases like diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure, but also moisturize your skin and make it easier to stretch. There are also moisturizers and creams you can apply to your body to help fading out the stretch marks. It is recommended that you apply them twice a day accompanied with a massage to better circulate the blood stream.
creams that contains vit A also is helpful too .
try not lose or gain weight rapidly your skin will not have time to stretch and then stretch marks appear
