how old are you? if you are still in your teens then it is normal. stretch marks comes due to the fact you are still growing and at times you grow so quickly (growth spurts) that the collagen making cells in your skin cannot keep up, which results in stretch marks.
luckily they will dissappear with time. theres not uch you can do really. and i dont think they disappear completely. they will 'fade'.
you can do more things to PREVENT them than treat them.
to prevent stretch marks, make sure you keep your skin moisturised after morning shower, before bed etc and when you apply lotion massage it into your skin using circular movements with your hands. this will help maintain your skin's elasticity.
but if you're adamant that want to put something on your current stretch marks, use BIO-OIL. i hear they are good. they minimise appearance, mind you, not completely make them go away, so dont get your hopes up too high. you can also try moisturiser with cocoa shea butter.
i hope that has helped a little.
lots of women have stretch marks its a part of life and only natuiral so you are not alone!
good luck.

Sorry I am not a girl but for my wife when she was pregnant to mitigate against stretch marks, I used to rub her stomache area with a mixture of seasame seed oil and two drops of tea tree.
Noteworthy, no strech marks after delivery. It also helps reduce markings as well over time. She had some stretch marks due to substantial weight loss and it almost if not took the marks away.

There's something called Bio-oil which you can try. It's about £10 a bottle. Need to massage it in a couple of times a day.
Apparently once you've got them you can't get totally rid of them, though they will fade with time.
Another way of hiding them is with a sun tan or fake tan.

Honestly Palmer's Cocoa Butter really works! I had stretch marks from losing weight and after using this daily - they are not visible any more. Smells lush too.

Bio-oil. Works wonders on stretch marks and scars - genuinely.
You can get it in Boots and Superdrug.

I FOUND THAT USING PALMERS BODY BUTTER IS A GOOD FORM OF GETTING RID OF STRETCH MARKS AND ALSO BIO OIL HAVING TWO CHILDREN IT WORKED WONDERS.I WOULD SUGGEST GOING TO SEE YOUR GP IF THAT DOESN'T WORK BUT, IT SHOULD AS BOTH CREAMS ARE VERY GOOD.

It's normal if your skin isn't elastic. I have them from my two pregnancy's, and i was told they will never go.They fade with time and while you are loosing weight, but they leave a shiny scars.
I was also told that drinking lots of water and rubbing natural oils(such as almond oil) into your skin will prevent you from getting any more.

Yeah its normal, you just get them from growing, it doesn't mean you're overweight or anything.
Try bio-oil you can get it from Boots, it will prevent you getting any more and help the ones you have to fade.
Hope it works for you x

bio oil would be the best as it fades them and u can also use them on scars it does really work honest! its priced at about £8.99 which isn't really expensive as you don't need to use tons of the stuff each time u use it
