To lessen or reduce stretch marks you can use Cocoa Butter Lotion, this is what pregnant women use. Or just go to a drug store and ask if they have anything that reduces or lessens stretch marks and I'm sure they have more.

thats a really good website about them:)
I know they're annoying, i was in the same situation as you (mine have faded over time and due to the thing i will mention in a moment) You can't get rid of them but they will fade over time and there's lots of cream etc to fade them. The oil i used/use is bio oil which helps fade scars and stretchmarks. I found it take a few months to fade them but you start noticing the results after about a month which is good when you think stretchmarks take years to fade!

IF you have the money to, you can get laser to reduce them but i think if you only have a few it wouldn't be worth the money! Take a look at those websites though, i hope they help you:) [ chloekc's advice column | Ask chloekc A Question ]

Over time they will fade from the redish purple to a lighter color, mine are not really noticible anymore. You can use over the counter medicines to reduce the appearance of scars, but I think they are a waste of money and don't really work, so just wait it out.
