Sorry hun, you are pretty much stuck with them. Try tanning, if they are faint you will make them NEARLY invisible if you go to a tanning bed (thats how my best friend hides her's from her pregnancy)
Otherwise there is a surgery out there now, but it has to be done every 6-12 months depending on how severe the stretch marks are. Remember they are a kind of scar...... this surgery makes them pretty much disapear and then they will gradually "grow" back......... So you have to keep getting it re-done.
Sorry!! =(

You stopped eating just because of some stupid kid bullying you? What the hell does that have to do with food? And as for stretch marks, a lot of people have them and nobody cares. That's a bit of a weird question...

If you loose weight they will look lighter depending on your skin color. Or get them removed by laser surgery. They have creams out here on the market, but i'm not sure if the creams work.

Unfortunately there is nothing that will get rid of stretch marks other than plastic surgery and even that leaves scars. They will fade over time and tanning helps.

they sell creams in the drug store. They have all kinds that are supposed to make them lighter in appearance. Mederma and Scar Zone are a few or you can use coco butter.

I'm sorry but stretch marks are caused by rapid growth with bad skin. Nothing gets rid of them.

⥠Use Vitamin E oil. It will help to fade the strech marks, but wont take them away competly. Use the oil it is the most effective, also take Vitamin E pills too...

You can't get rid of stretch marks once you have them. I don't care what anyone says about a cream or whatever. Once you get em you got em forever.

According to Gillian Mckeith (a well-known nutritionist in the UK), lack of zinc contributes to the formation of stretch marks. she recommends taking 15mg daily. Also, use bio oil.. it contains a whole range of essential and vitamen oils to nourish the skin. http://www.bio-oil.info/homepage.php

Once you have them, you have them. If they are recent, like from a pregnancy and they are red, they will fade to a silvery kind of color, but there is nothing that makes them go away. Most people have them somewhere on their body, so dont make a big deal out of it.
