Yeah, It's very normal. I have stretch marks on mine, and my friends do too. They also have them on their booty and anywhere else that has shrunk, or grown very quickly in a short amount of time. You can get a special cream stuff at a drugstore.

When you grow or gain weight very quickly, such as during puberty or pregnancy, you can get stretch marks. As your skin is over-stretched, the connective fibers can break, and this creates lines on the skin. These lines usually start out pink or reddish and fade over time. Old stretch marks may become silvery or turn a color a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone.
Whether or not you get stretch marks is determined mostly by heredity, and getting rid of them isn't easy. In fact, experts aren't even sure it's completely possible. The first thing to know is that no over-the-counter cream or lotion can remove those lines. Stretch marks occur in the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, and common creams can't reach that far deep. Vitamin E and cocoa butter treatments can make your skin feel soft and supple, but they won't make your skin mark-free. You'll need to talk to a doctor, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon if you want to seriously reduce the lines.

I'm a nurse. Stretch marks are caused by weight gain. This weight gain happens so fast that the body can't keep up, then stretch marks develop as a result. Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do to get rid of them but surgery. Even then all will not be completely gone. From now on, take good care of yourself.

I don't think everyone gets them, but a lot do. They'll fade with time. There are some lotions that you can apply that claim to help. I do know drinking a lot of water helps prevent them, so drink as much as you can! My cousin got huge when she was pregnant, but didn't get a single stretch mark because of the lotions and water she drank.

No, not everyone gets them, but a good percent does. I know I got them but they weren't very bad. There's no way to get rid of them once you have them but try rubbing cocoa butter or something with vitamin e on them a few times a day and it helps prevent them from coming in the future. They will fade away with time and turn a light silver-y color.

Unfortuantely, without laser removal you are stuck with them. Stretch marks are the result of quick stretching of the skin and the degree of how badly you get them depends on the elasticity of your skin which is generally genetic.
