I am only 14 and have what I think are stretchmarks. They are pink coloured lines on the inside of my upper legs. There are quite a lot of them. How can I get rid of them as they are hideous and I hate them. Please help they are embarrassing!

I got stretchmarks on my inner thighs when I was about your age, it is horrible to go through when you're so young. I never did understand why I got them, I didn't notice any rapid weight gain or loss. They were pinkish/purple for a couple of years and now they've faded to white. I tried using Mederma, an over the counter lotion that's supposed to help reduce the appearance, but it didn't work so well for me. They should fade with time, just make you keep your skin hydrated in those areas. And don't be too embarrassed, it happens to a lot of young women...just another curse of the fairer sex. =)

Im afraid to say that most teenagers or people who put weight on get stretch marks.They normally fade after about a year to a pale silver colour which is not as noticable as the pink.Normally on female teengers who are developing get them on their breasts,bum and where you say you have them.I remember going to the beach when i was the same age as you with my friends and trying to cover them up with concealer and ended up looking like id been tangoed!! Some chemists stock these gel type pads for scars and it might work,you could ask,but to be honest its just something you learn to live with and you are not the only 14year old who this has happened to.Co co butter cream is a good source of moisture for your skin,so try that an the parts i mentioned which may help.x

Palmers cocoa body lotion moisturiser! (find it in boots chemist or any other leading chemists) honestly i'd swear by this! It may not make them dissapear but it will definately amke them alot less noticeable. A friend of mine used this while she was pregnant (small ammount 4 times a day) and a size 6, when she delivered her baby she didnt have a single stretch mark. After that I've been using it religiously every day after a shower. Since it's designed to improve skin elasticity in pregnant women it should help with stretch marks that have already appeared.

I think that some of the large health food stores sell a special cream for stretch marks. Just go down to the store and ask an assistant for advice. They may also recommend a supplement. Vitamin C and C help when taken internally to help keep the skin elastic and prevent further marks. A special cream could help resolve them. Vitamin E applied externally can help.
Rose hip oil of the Rosa mosqueta kind from Chile is supposed to be brilliant for stretch marks.

Sorry, you can't. This is a result of rapid weight gain and the elastisity in your legs has been streched to the max. I got them when I was 14 too, and now I am 20. I found that tanning covers them.

Its where youre growing quickly . Unfortunately you can't get rid of stretchmarks but they do fade with time.

They are the result of rapid stretching of the skin. Nothing will get rid of them but they will fade in time. Keep them moisturised and thats about all you can do. there are no creams or potions that will make them go away!;

I had the same thing on my lower back when i was about your age, and three years later they are more or less gone. Be patient my young Padiwan.
And who, may I ask, will be looking at the inside of you upper leg at your age?

If you massage your body regularly with coconut and almond oil, it will keep stretch marks away.
Buy some vitamin E capsules and take these daily follow instructions. Vitamin E is believed to improve stretch marks. Or, add a couple of vitamin E capsules to your body massage oil.
It is believed that smearing the area with egg white and letting it dry before washing off with ice cold water regularly can help in getting rid of stretch marks completely.
Theres NO HARM in trying. One of the above MAY work for you.

Nothingwill fully remove them but i find that if u use coca butter daily, u can make them less visible. Maybeif u use itlong enough they can be almost invivsble, but that depends on how dark they are. Hope i helped:)
