What is a stretch mark?
Stretch marks (or Striae Gravidarum) is a term that refers to the scars on your skin which are caused damage to the elastic fibres that help skin stretch. Stretch marks are perfectly normal, and most women - and even some men - have them!
What do stretch marks look like?
Depending on your skin color, stretch marks start out as pink, reddish brown, brown, or very dark brown streaks. After time they can fade to a more silvery color that’s lighter than your other skin.
Where do they normally happen on your body?
They can happen anywhere on your body, but are most common on hips, breasts and buttocks.
How can I avoid getting stretch marks?
Whether you get them or not is simply a matter of genetics… that is, how elastic your skin is. There’s nothing you can do, so don’t worry about it either way!
Does cream help?
Many women use various types of creams, lotions, and oils to try to prevent stretch marks from forming. Unfortunately, while such products soothe and soften the skin, there is no medical evidence to prove that they actually work! So beware of advertisers trying to sell you expensive products claiming that they prevent stretch marks!
This said, there is some new medical research which shows that some specific creams may be able to help the appearance of stretch marks. Apparently, using 0.1 percent Tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A) on stretch marks will slightly reduce the length and width of stretch marks.
(N.B. As this is a new development, Tretinoin should not be used during pregnancy or breast feeding).

I'm a mum and believe me, if there was a cure for strecthmarks - I'd buy it. But, as far as I know, there isn't one. However, Palmer's Cocoa Butter do a stretch mark fade lotion. It doesn't get rid of them, but makes the skin around the look firmer and smoother.

Sorry doll, they don't go away. They will fade with time and turn a silvery white. It depends on your skin but most likely you have to learn not to mind them. Try tanning but be careful, this can darken them in some people.

Use products that are oil based and try using a body brush.

I don't know that you can get rid of them, but tanning helps to conceal them. They eventually start to fade on their own.
