When I was 12 I went through a growth spurt. Now I am 14 and I have stretch marks on my upper thieghs and hips. How do I get rid of them?

Stretch Marks will fade over time, and there are creams and ointments you can buy to put on them. However, they tend to be expensive and aren't scientifically proven to work. Sorry to say, but those marks are probably there to stay.
You can see a dermatologist about getting Laser Resurfacing. That is the process by which a laser is ran over your stretch marks and hides them. This is very expensive and somewhat painful.
Rest assured, though, that the marks will fade to a neutral color over time and be less obvious.

If they're relatively new, Mederma might work. It's like $27 or something for a little tube, and I can't promise it'll work on the stretch marks, although it is marketed for such. It did work wonders on a new scar I had from minor surgery.
Almost all women have stretch marks. Models have them airbrushed out in photos. Watch the movie "True Lies" with Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwartzeneggar, and when she's doing her little dance for him in the beginning of the movie, you see them on her. I saw that movie right after I had my son and a gazillion new stretch marks, and it made me smile. Not at her misfortune, but it made me feel like I wasn't abnormal.

I'm extremely sorry to say you can't. I suffer from the same thing. I'm over 30 now and I still have the same stretch marks. I''ve tried all kinds of creams, vitamin E, herbal stuff, etc. Nothing worked. Save your money and just learn to live with it.

Sorry yet as quickly as you have them then there is not something you're able to do approximately it. you ought to use cocoa butter lotion or bio oil to help soften them up yet you could not get rid of them. They fade over the years although, so do not subject. I had some some year in the past and now they're the colour of my epidermis and not that substantial. BTW, your husband might desire to already understand that for the period of a marriage bodies replace over the years and he merely has to settle for it. no one is acceptable and that i've got in no way met a single woman in my existence that doesn't have some stretch marks. that's good which you relatively opt to look your ideal for him, yet while he's definitely complaining than you may desire to easily forget approximately him.

Anything short of surgery will take a while, but coccoa butter works wonders if you use it daily! and take a vitamin E suppliment
