Stretchmarks are normal! Try Mederma (or the store brand). It is a scar reducing cream that does reduce the visibility some what. Cocoa butter is great for preventing them but minimally works to hide them once they have occured.

For a woman who has been pregnant, yes, for an 18 year old boy, not good. Try Some B12 oil. Rub some on twice a day. Nothing will get rid of them, but it should help make them less noticable...

I am going to be 18 in a few days. Because ive been small most of my life and then i gained a few pounds and then ultimately lost all of it again, i have stretch marks on my legs and hips. I have tried lotions, creams, and serums. They do work temporarily but they never go away completely. My friends have had better luck with them than i have. So good luck, but they are completely normal.

lol! If stretch marks aren't okay at 18, they weren't okay when I had them at 15, and I was only a size four! They come and go, in appearance, because you're young and your skin is perfectly elastic right now. They'll be faint white lines in another year.
The cocoa butter comment was right on. It conditions your skin really well, and for some reason it works like magic on stretch marks.

I wonder how you got them. Unless you gained a lot of weight all at once, it might be a disease. You might want to research something called Marfan syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfan_syndrome
I seem to remember mysterious stretch marks on the stomach being one of the symptoms. If that doesn't sound like you and the stretching is significant, maybe you should see a doctor. Good luck!

Stretchmarks are not some kind of disease. Anyone can get stretch marks. It's ok. And there's no way to get rid of them. Over time they fade and if they weren't bad you won't really notice them.

Yes, stretchmarks are ok. And you can't get rid of them without surgery,and often even that doesn't work. Cocao butter and vitamin E creams can make them less obvious.

Yuck! Gross! Just kidding, I gave birth to a large baby, I have them and most women who have babies do also. Anyone can get strech marks and you can't get rid of them! You can use creams and stuff to make them appear less visible though.

stretchmarks are ok, just use some cocoa butter cream to soften the looks - as your body adjusts the marks will fade
