Ok so I have stretch marks all over my stomach because I lost a TON of weight. They're all icky and black because I have darker skin and it's summer and I need to wear my new bikini.
Is there anything I can do because I worked so hard to lose all this weight and fit into my bikini and now I have stretch marks everywhere and they're really visible.
Do you also know a way to get rid of all the flab on my stomach. I have like extra skin over there and I've been doing stretches but I still have all that skin from where my fat used to be... help?

Well the last time I visited my doctor I had a few stretchmarks off to the side of my stomach because I lost a lot of weight. She told me that stretchmarks don't go away but, I doubted her and went looking online. I found that after a while, they start to fade into the same color as your natural skin color. There's not much you can do except wait. And if you have already stopped growing then the skin will probably remain there, some people even have surgery to get it fully removed. If you're still around the age of 15, then once you grow that skin will move to the place where you are growing. Hope I helped a bit :)
