Stretch Marks Solution that doesn't involve stopping workouts

Hi, I'm a 19 year old male and I've been working out for 2 years . Stretch marks started appearing a little over a year ago and they haven't stopped since. There's a ridiculous amount of stretching on my shoulders and now, after two years, I'm starting to see it on my left bicep.
Someone recommended Z3N M3D(sry about the numbers), I bought it and I have to tell you it's the biggest rip off in the history of medication. BioOil seems to work, but the fadeaway rate of BioOil is simply much, much slower than the appearance rate of the stretch marks. I used to drink a lot of protein and creatine (creatine only for a while), but now I've stopped and for about 3 months I've been taking 400mg to a 1000mg of Vitamin E (hopefully there are no side effects, according to the internet). It seems to contribute, but certainly not fast enough, let alone prevention. Currently I don't work out, I just do the occasional chin up at home on my chin up bar, but that's all.

What should I do? Any recommendations? Do I have to stop working out because of this. Looking at myself I don't seem to match the average bodybuilding male, I weigh 150 lbs and I think my BMI is perfect (the minimum amount of fat for my height/age), but Im sure my limit hasn't been reached and my skin is just being stubborn
 
are you gaining weight very quickly?
It's a problem a lot of people have and some people get stretch marks easier than others.
I'm afraid I don't know of any supplements or lotions or anything like that that can help :(
 
That's the funny thing, I HAVE been trying to gain weight at a faster rate, but I actually haven't. I've been 140-150 lbs for a while now, maybe a year and a half
 
hmm.. well, you shouldn't be getting stretch marks if you aren't growing a lot. Are your muscles getting bigger? have you done any measurements? And do you have any pics of the stretchmarks?

Luckily, the marks do fade a bit as they age, they become white instead of red/purple, which is a good thing, it makes them less visible.
 
Yes, fortunately there have been huge improvements in terms of muscle gain.

Some of them have faded away in the middle, but as soon as I lift a weight, do a chin up or a push up it just keeps adding up on the bottom and the top of my shoulders.

replace hxxp with http
