I FEEL your pain. And believe me, I hate to have to tell you this because I wish it weren’t true….but there is NO WAY…absolutely NO WAY to remove stretch marks!! You can buy creams, you can have laser surgery, and you can have micro-dermabrasion done but they will ONLY MINIMIZE your marks. They will NOT fully make them disappear.
I’m sure this isn’t the answer you wanted, but it is the absolute truth. Before you go out and spend a lot of money on products that aren’t going to work, I would seriously urge you to talk to your doctor; he will basically tell you the same thing. Trust me, Hon, I wish I could get rid of mine too.
Have a great day and good luck. =)

There are a lot of strech marks cream out there which do help a little. It more protects them than anything. I am using one call Pregnacare at the moment which I got at the chemists.
Off the top of my head, I beleive these creams contain vitimins C and (I think) E. I also know they contain Aloe Vera and Primrose.
Search the internet and see what comes up.
** NOTE:: I dont think there is anything that can get rid of them but only to protect or possbily minimise them **.
I am a guy that does weight-lifting and I have some stretch marks around the armpit - to - chest area.
When I forst saw these lines (stretch marks), I worried about them a lot. They were very noticable and red colour. I checked the internet and found them to be stretch marks and the best suggestion was to use creams. However, after a peroid of time they turn a whiter colour and gently blends into your normal skin colour. There still there, but mine are harder to notice now.
So incase its a new thing for you, your marks will 'blend' with your normal skin.
My advice is not to worry about them too much, as there are a lot of people with them whether there bodybuilders or Mothers.
I dont worry about mine anymore. If your worried about what guys might think then dont.... (if you ever were) :-)
I hope this helps and take care

Unfortunately, there is no permanent solution of stretch marks. However, you can reduce their appearance by not gaining too much weight and with proper preventive measures. The earlier you can detect them – when they are pink or reddish brown – the more likely you are to diminish their appearance.

You wont be able to get rid of them but you can help to fade them in time. Just keep applying loads of cocoa butter which will keep your skin soft and supple. My sister just had a baby and didnt get one stretch mark (she got through bottles of cream) lucky thing!

I was told not to expose them to sun until they had faded from the bright red/pink. If exposed to sun they wont fade and blend in with your natural skin tone.
I havent done anything to mine, just let them fade naturally and most you can barely see.
