They sound like they're stretch marks. You can't get rid of them completely, but you can diminish the look of them. I'm not sure about the Suave body wash. Suave isn't much good for anything. They do make some creams that are specially formulated for stretch marks. You might want to try one of those.

No over-the-counter cream or lotion can remove the lines. Stretch marks occur in the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, and common creams can't reach that far deep. Vitamin E and cocoa butter treatments can make your skin feel soft and supple, but they won't make your skin mark-free. Retin-A, may help reduce the appearance of fresh stretch marks. You'll need to talk to a doctor, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon if you want to seriously reduce the lines.

There is laser surgery if you want to get rid of them that badly.
I have heard that coca and shea butter works but i'm not sure if its best to buy the product made by Suave. I've never had good expirence with their products.
Nivea makes products that diminish the look

they sound like stretch marks...
hate to say this but you cant EVER get rid of them completely, and if you tan (in a tanning bed) it can make them stand out more. there is a scar cream called mederma (i think that's how you spell it) that is supposed to reduce them. i've heard that the baby lotion in the pink bottle works, but i wouldn't bet on it. try that mederma and use it like the instructions say and you should see some results. if you don't then you might be able to talk to a dermatologist for some other treatments....they just might be kinda pricey.

Maderma is the best product, it doesn't completely get rid of them but it make them fade away so they are difficult to see. To avoid getting stretch marks use coca butter daily. You an find Maderma in your local drug store. Especially if you get pregnant, you will not get any stretch marks at all.

Stretch marks are lighter than your skin. They are a result of quick weight gain. Cocoa butter usually works.
It sounds like you have varicose veins.

Yes, they sound like stretch marks. You can't get rid of them, but they should fade in a few months until they hardly show.
