yes: rub baby oil or vitamin e cream on them\n\nAlthough there are tons of creams and other skin products on the market that claim to eliminate stretch marks, the truth is that most are ineffective and often costly. You can't make stretch marks go away entirely without the help of a dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in treating skin problems) or plastic surgeon. These doctors may use one of many types of treatments - from actual surgery to techniques such as microdermabrasion and laser treatment - that reduce the appearance of stretch marks. These techniques are expensive and are not usually recommended for people in their teen years because they are not finished growing and their stretch marks will probably diminish over time anyway.

use scar cream. but normally it takes more than a month to clear it up.

I heard about a laser that can fade stretch marks. Non invasive. But you have to have like 10 or so treatments. and they can cost about 2000 plus total. Like a couple hundred dollars a visit.

Look don't fret about the stretch marks just look ahead and we can work on getting you back to the shape you are after. Just follow this routine and you will be fine. Take it from someone who has two babies and stretchmarks I am still very confident with my physical appearance since I got my shape back. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1500 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1800 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1500 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

As annoying as they are, the best treatment I found was to not touch them at all!  The skin in that area is very prone to scarring because it is so thin and delicate.  My dermatologist did prescribe me some medication that helped get rid of them but the best remedy was to cover them up with a concealer (such as Maybelline's Invisible Concealer, if you're wearing something that reveals that area) and just plain ignore them.

Egg whites plus a few drops of rosehip oil, lavender oil, wheat germ oil, and or cocoa butter mixed in a a dixie cup sized cup of apple cider vinegar when you have 30 minutes to leave it on will help lighten and heal scars. \n\nDrink 6-8 glasses of clean water each day to give your skin the fluids it needs to heal itself.

Stretch marks are indeed scars and they dont go away.  I think they faint a little bit with time and getting some sun hides them a bit. What I use that really works to prevent them is a Stretch mark smoothing cream.  I put it on before bed every night, it makes your skin softer and more elastic.  Dont stop exercising, dont be afraid to loose weight.  One thing important though is that you need to be moderate in the way you loose your weight, if you loose a lot fast, you will get more stretch marks than if you loose it slowly.  Buy a stretch mark cream, they really work.  I hate giving brand names, but the one sold by Avon is the one I use.  Dont believe cream advertisings that say they will make your stretch marks disappear- its a lie.  Work in preventing them.  Good health to you.

Honestly, the people who answers you cannot, are totally correct.  Unfortunately, stretch marks are permanent, and you getting them is hereditary.  It is possible to diminish the darkness and/or severity of them, but it's not vitamin E or cocoa butter that can do this ... it's something called "scar gel".  It works!  Worked on me when nothing else did :)

Stretch Mark Lightening Treatment \nThis is a wonderful, tried and tested treatment for stretch marks people get when they knock the pounds off. \n4Teaspoons brewed coffee\n1Cup coconut oil\n\n1. Mix the brewed coffee and coconut oil in a bowl. \n2. Allow it to boil. \n3. Remove from heat. \n4. Allow it to cool down to room temperature. \n5. Every night, rub this mixture over your stretch marks. \n6. This will gradually lighten the marks. \n7. If you want to remove the marks completely, you would have to go in for microdermabrasion.

Vitamin E oil or cream will help and also coca butter, rub it on your stretch marks daily.  They will also lighten up at time goes by, like along time goes by.

Stretch marks not only come from pregnant and fat people, but also unhealthy skin.  You should take some omega 3 fatty acids for your skin's health.  You need to moisturize as well.  Most of us have stretch marks.  They are really hard to get rid of.  Prevent by eating right (Sugar ages you and your skin FAST so treat it like the poison it is) and keeping your skin moist from the inside and outside.\nGood luck!

Try Bio Oil, it is very good for fading scars and blemishes, can be brought quite easily from most chemists, it worked for me on a small scar that I had had for years, so its worth a try.

You can try vitamin e oil.  It will not totally remove large scars but, it will shrink them.  It helps small scars tremendously

I have two children, and where my stomach expanded so much (I was real small before) I have alot of stretch marks. The coco butter theory didnt really work, i tryed - but there's a creme call Eucerin that I started using and it made a big difference, and also Tanning helps them (or the illusion of them). But before i had a few big ones that almost looked like scars and the eucerin actually faded them all the way gone
