You can use Palmer's coco butter, or Mother Nature's special blend (from Wild Oats, Wholefood stores). Or if you don't mind spending the money there is a Spa Product called Strech Mark Mender by Comfort Zone ( an Italian Spa line) and its fabulous! This will take them away, while the other products I listed may work too, but more likely will make them less visible. Oh and be sure to always use lotion after you take a shower. These things have worked for me. I've had two kids and I only got maybe three little sterch marks. My mom got really bad strech marks with me, so I did my research. Hope this helps!

Between 75 and 90% of women develop stretch marks to some degree during pregnancy. The sustained hormonal levels as a result of pregnancy usually means stretch marks may appear during the sixth or seventh month.
Many people believe that using oils or creams in high-risk areas (e.g. breasts, hips, abdomen, thighs) may help prevent stretching by giving the skin more flexibility, and over the counter moisturising products are available for this use.
Various treatments are available for the purpose of improving the appearance of existing stretch marks, including laser treatments, dermabrasion, and topical applications (e.g. cocoa butter),[1]. Among these products it is claimed the best results are achieved on recent stretch marks. However few studies exist to support these claims. Further, it is thought that if stretch marks do fade with the use of these products, it is likely they only fade to the degree they would fade naturally, although perhaps at a faster rate. A recent study in the journal "Dermatologic Surgery" has shown that radiofrequency combined with 585-nm pulsed dye laser treatment gave "good and very good" subjective improvement in stretch marks in 89.2% of 37 patients, although further studies will be required to follow up on these results. In addition, the use of a pulsed dye laser has shown to increase pigmentation in darker skinned individuals with repeated treatments.[2]
A certain procedure for removing lower abdominal stretch marks is the tummy tuck, which removes the skin under the belly button where stretch marks frequently occur

Unfortunately stretch marks do not go away, they just lighten in color in time.
