All you can do is lose the fat.  It's fat pushing through the fibers in your connective tissue, so losing the fat (which cannot be spot-reduced) is the only way.  No cream or treatments can do anything.  Diet and exercise are the routes to losing the fat.

Can anyone recommend any good exercises??

Cardio and overall strength training.  Do you exercise now?

You can get lots of good ideas on sparkpeople.com, and they have demos of their exercises.

YouTube offers a lot of good ideas, too.

Not exercising right now - I will be hitting it hard right after Easter.  I am currently 32wks pregnant (due on Easter Sunday) with my 4th baby (6th pregnancy) which is where all the weight has come from ):  Thanks for the website - I am going to check it out.

You ought to be able to start walking now, at least (check with your doctor first!).

You can also look at doing DVDs at home, as I imagine it will be hard, at least at first, to get away with a newborn.  A good jogging stroller will help you walk with the baby, or run if you decide to try that.

Good luck with the remaining weeks of pregnancy!!

Thanks!  But, this has been a rough pregnancy (after a miscarriage last year) so I'm limited on what I can do.  After he's born I do plan on doing a lot of walking (with him in the stroller) around my neighborhood while 2 of my daughters ride there bikes.  I'm determined to lose as much weight as possible before having to return to work at 6 wks pp.

I agree with the ladies above.  Working out is the best way to go.  If you want a little added help try out Nivea's Goodbye Cellulite Serum.  The majority of my cellulite has gone away using this and of course diet and exercise.  You can see more about it at the Nivea website.  It really helps!  You can buy it at places like walmart or target.  Here is a link to some more reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Nivea-Good-Cellulite-Serum-2-5-Ounce/dp/B002UUT43W
