My cousin is only 12 and she has stretch marks EVERYWHERE. She gets really depressed whenever people invite her to pool parties and stuff. I was wondering does anyone know of any creams that will help reduce stretch marks or any procedures anything would be nice right about now.

When someone discovers the product/procedure to remove stretch marks everyone will know about it. It won't be a secret.
If the stretch marks are still red there are some options to lessen them but not heal or remove them.
The latest options are various laser treatments and similar treatments.
They can be devastating for anyone...but especially for someone so young.
She could see a dermatologist who would probably prescribe some retin-a creams to lessen the appearance of the scarring.
I hear people suggest massage for stretch marks. That certainly won't hurt even if it doesn't help with stria.

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

cocoa butter does work...it is what a lot of pregnant women use to prevent stretch marks...but it helps to get rid of them too.

Firstly, that is normal. I don't know any quick remedies, but the best thing I know of is cocoa butter.
Good luck
