Answer 1

Stretch marks are hereditary, once you get them they won't go away.

Answer 2

Unfortunately i wish i could tell you different! But they are yours for the keeping, but don't despair keep rubbing lotion in them and keep them moisturized, they will fade in time and become less visible, take a look at your weight has it changed recently have you quickly gained, or is your body changing, sometimes just getting curvier can bring them on, the fact that your skin is very delicate or sensitive can affect this too. It's all part of being a woman love your self your shape and yes even your stretch marks they will become easier to live with as time goes on, i Promise!
Don't scratch if they itch though this will irritate them and make it worse just apply lotion keep the area smooth.

Answer 3

Stretch marks are scars and it takes time for scars to heal or lighten up. Take plenty of vitamin E, drink plenty of water and keep the skin very soft and moisturized (use Medurma twice daily). These actions will speed healing and make the stretch marks less visible. (If all else fails, there's always laser treatment or chemical peals). Good luck!

Answer 4

There is something called 'Stri-vectin that is available in larger department stores in malls. May be also available in Walgreens or CVS, I don't know.
Supposedly, many people have tried it, and say it works. Depending on how deep the striae are, treatments like liposuction and surgery to tighten the area may be needed.
They do lighten and fade after a few years if they aren't very deep.
A consultation with a Dermatologist should be able to help you with options.

Answer 5

I have them myself. Mine aren't visible though. You can use stuff like lotion, even though it doesn't work at first. Maybe it's the way you put it on. If they are really bad ones rub lotion on them using a circulair motion with two fingers(or four, that's optional). Make sure you rub all the lotion in just that area.

If that doesn't work spend thirty minutes tanning.Fifteen minutes on your front and fifteen minutes on your back. Use regular SPF to rub in on the stretch marks. Then wait after five minutes on one side rub in the tanning lotion (or oil doesn't matter). And repeat that step after finishing the front.

Tanning always works for my bad stretch marks.

Scar removal lotion works for anything including stretch marks. Usually you can see the effects almost instantly. My sister stole my tude of it after she gave birth to her first born and she has NO stretch marks.

Answer 6

I had stretch marks from three children and now three years after the last one you can't even see the stretch marks anymore. I guess it all depends on why you got the stretch marks.

Answer 7

I have had two kids and have stretch marks on my thighs and my stomach and closer to my bum. I have never tried anything to get rid of them. I wear them with pride because I got them because I had two wonderful kids. You should just be proud of them and the reason why you have them because you had children. Good luck.

Answer 8

You can't get rid of them no matter how much you rub, try not to let the appearance of them bother you, and just remember that a lot people that you see everyday has them, from the heavy to the skinny, from the beautiful to the ugly, so don't worry about them.

Answer 9

Those dont work, either get it lasered or try something like retin a (need a prescription in the US) or strivectin. Nothing else has ever been proven to work, some people even say strivectin doesnt work. Do your research.

Answer 10

Avon has a product for stretch marks that works pretty well. Also try medera for scars.

Answer 11

Stretch marks suck. I have heard that they arise from a lack of zinc so maybe zinc powder/cream/pills might speed up the fading process.
