I've been to the doctor with someone who's had the same problem. Unfortunately, the doctor said that there's no way a person can really get rid of stretch marks unless they submit to surgery. She prescribed some creams to make the marks less obvious. The best bet would be to visit a dermatologist for some professional advice.

There is some stuff they sell in the drugstore for stretch marks, but don't get your hopes up.
They will fade to white eventually, but the only way to get rid of them is with laser treatments.

i dont think u can ever get rid of stretch marks entirely.the onlly good news i can tell you is they eventually fade from red to just lines.keeping rubbing the coco butter though.any moisturizing can only be good for the skin and lessen the damage in future

if they are red tell him to put baby oil over the red spot in spanish they are call estrias... that means he doesn't do exercise.... put oil so it will go away..
