Stretch Marks?
Hi, I have horizontal white stretch marks on my hips. i think it is because I grew taller quickly. Do you know what white stretch marks mean. Did i loos or gain weight. Did I grow taller quickly like I think? Also I REALLY want to get rid of them. i have been using BIO OIL for about a week now. What do you recommend I use? Have you used BIO OIL? If so what did you think? Thank you!

Stretch marks could be caused from a number of things; getting taller is one of them. No matter what the cause though, I know they are a pain. I've actually never heard of BIO OIL, but if that doesn't work out for you, I can recommend some products that will.
Mederma is a great scar cream. It takes a couple weeks to start seeing results, but it works wonders as long as you stick to it. The newer the scar is, the faster it works. You can get it at places like CVS or Walgreens.
Cocoa Butter lotion(s) are good for getting rid of / preventing stretch marks as well. There are many different kinds of cocoa butter out there, so it shouldn't be hard to find.

If you grew quite quickly, then yes, that's probably the cause. You're right though, other causes are gaining and losing weight (did you do either?), depression (yes, really), lack of nutrients...
Also, I've used bio oil, and I can tell you, you definitely won't see changes in a week anyway. Not even a few weeks. Maybe after a month or 2 you'll start to see slight changes. Don't forget to massage it into your skin, too. Keep it up, because I found it was great stuff for scars which I had.
You could try using cocoa butter, by massaging that into your skin, also.
Don't forget, hydrating your body is very important, so drink enough water and if you can, moisturize.
Remember, stretch marks can fade within time. Most people have them. and it's nothing to be ashamed about.
