How old are you hon? Are you still in the growing age?
most women do have some stretch marks some place or other...most common are around hips and breasts, as well as thigh, upper arms, and across abdomen (especially after pregnancy), but it is possible to have them almost anywhere on your body. They are usually caused by rapid growth, which can be during adolesence, weight gain (such as pregnancy) and sometimes by weight loss (although i'm not sure how that actually happens...)
If you are still quite young, don't worry...they will fade over time to a silvery color and will be barely visable. Using things like cocoa butter or Bio-Oil may help fade the scars (because that is what they really are!), also using Mederma can help them to fade faster (however, this is a bit expensive and depending how many you have, could take several tubes a month to cover them all)
Best advice is to try not to worry about them. I have hundreds after my pregnancy and they don't worry me in the least...they were mostly invisable by about 6 or 8 months after the birth.

They have several products on the market for just that purpose. I've known several ladies who had great results with Vitamin E cream. I'm assuming you have either had a child, or lost a lot of weight, either way, you shouldn't see those marks as ugly but rather marks of accomplishment. Be proud of your wonderful, miraculous woman's body.

To prevent stretch marks and scars effectively use cocoa butter or a mixture of olive oil and herbs. You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks and scars at

women worry about them much more than guys do, guys don't even really care, atleast I don't. It's just a sign of womanhood and/or motherhood. wide hips and big boobs are hot. boobs that are so big that they get stretch marks are hot, not the stretchmarks themselves, but those come with big boobs, they come with the territory... also the way you can see the veins in large boobs, believe it or not, but that is also hot... guys get bald heads and hairy backs, women get stretch marks... that's nature, that's the way it goes.

I know how u feel, I have ugly ones too.. Mine look like I have been stabbed or something. I heard cocoa butter helps or even olive oil. I haven't used it for long to see but I heard it helps.
It won't take it aways but it will help...

vitiman E, or coco butter will help to fade them, but you'll still be left with a silvery mark, but that is bearly noticeable

Ask your doctor. My Dad just had surgery on the top of his foot and the his dr. gave him some creme to make the scarring less visible............................it has vitamin E oil in it. Also, you may want to try Palmer's lotion or the butter creme, it's suppose to take away scars?????????????????????

Just don't expose that area. Wear dark clothing.
It's not a big thing and it's more common than you think.
