Hi 16/f
Okay so I've always been under average weight and under on BMI and my family is all skinny but at the beginning of this year I decided to watch what I eat (idk why I was just scared or really really self consciousness of being chubby). So I started cutting all the crisps and chocolate out because I always used to eat loads of rubbish everyday.. then a few months later I noticed like two reddy purple lines on my higher inner thigh..
My question is how on earth could I get stretch marks when I change from the diet I've had all my life to a healthier diet, surely I couldn't of gained weight? I just don't understand soo advice on stretch marks and how I could of got them please... Thanks
Also there is this chemical peel you can order online, TCA peel acid, I ordered some and applied it to my stretch marks, I let it frost then neutralized it. It burnt and peeled but after a few weeks I noticed my stretch marks were a lot fainter, I did it again a few months later and they're barely noticeable, however since you're a few years younger I'd suggest you'd get a friend or your mother or even a sibling to help you if you choose to do this.

It's very common to get them because of growth spurts, you could have simply just gone through one. Get Bio Oil, or Cocoa Butter and apply it on your hips, thighs, and breasts, these are the places I found I got stretch marks on the most when I was growing.
