Stretch Marks


Question Posted Monday August 30 2004, 6:21 pm

HELP!! A few summers ago I grew a few inches and gained a significant amount of weight, and now I have so many stretch marks, and they're making me SO Self concious!! My boyfriend of 6 months always wants to run his hands up my shirt to tickle me, and I always make him stop and blame it on tickeling.. but it's really I just don't want him to see my stretch marks!! They're on the front of my stomache, my sides, even on the sides of my breasts.. and I don't know what to do to get rid of them. I've read about them and they're caused from the lack of cologen or something like that, when your skin stretches, so it makes the marks. Does anyone have any home remedies or products that work efficiantly and aren't that expensive??? PLEASE HELP ME!

They never disappear; they lighten though. And yes, there are some products that promise to lessen the visibility of stretch marks. There is a product called Strivectin, HOWEVER, it is VERY expensive, we're talking $115.00+. You can find more information about that at:

I know it won't make you feel much better to say this, but almost everybody gets stretch marks! I had them show up when I was about 14 on my breasts and about 16 on my tummy, just like yours I think. I recommend rubbing them daily, after your shower, with cocoa butter, Palmers or Suave brand are best. This will help them fade. But the time I was 18, they were just silver lines you could barely see. Also, drink plenty of water. This may help prevent future marks from being as severe.

I have that same problem except they are on my legs and butt. And I'm only 13. But anyways go to Younkers in the perfume spot and look for Re-Fine by AVON Solutions. It doesnt make them go away but it makes them smaller and so that you can't feel them and it works really good!!

Alright. When I had my breast reduction, the surgeon recommended a cheap lotion - it also works on stretch marks.

It's called Palmer's Cocoa Butter with vitamin E. It should be in most local drug stores. Apply it a couple of times a day, and it'll help soften the skin and lessen the appearance of stretch marks.

Also - it's normal to have these marks after a growth spurt. Most everyone gets them. Whether you use the lotion or not, over time they will become almost invisible.

Use vitamin E/Aloe Lotion. It'll help fade them. And they'll eventually go away, too. They fade as time goes on.

WoRK OUt yOUR boDy- every morning and night do crunches and sit ups to work out your abs- and run at least once a week- this should clear away your stretch marks and tighten up your stomache if yah stay on Top Of your workouts!

well i don't know anything to get rid of them, but for yur bf, you can always dim the lights low and then let him tickle you, or wear a sweatshirt so he can't see.

you can always use like a base or cover up for a quick fix.

i have them all over me too. but it's from losing and gaining weight and my breasts increased and w/e. just get out in the sun more and try lotion all the time and stuff like that.
it wont make them go away but it will make them less noticeable. but don't be self conscious. it's apart of your body and your bf will understand. or should

Umm, stretch marks fade away when you get holder but I heard that Avon makes some cream that helps hide the stretch marks and it works great. I'm not sure about the cost of it but I know you can get it at any pharmacy or at any supermarket. Hope I helped :)

Use Merderma.....Its kinda expensive but it works.......like 20 to 30 bucks a tube....but its awesome yet takes a while to work..........Hope I helped!

(p.s. if you want them gone fast youd have to get laser surgery to clean that up.)
