while thier is no way to completly rid yourself of SM's, you can go to your dermatoligyst and get precription cream. it works better then overthecounter cream. u can also use OTC creams, thier generally cheap and work decently.

Strech marks are red or white lines where your skin has to strech becuase you grew faster then your skin did. You can use things to make them fade but they will never totally go away. *Ray*Ray*

You get stretch marks when you gain weight too fast so your skin can't grow fast enough to keep up.

It doesnt happen just when you have babies. If you are overweight you might get strech marks on your stomach or legs.

Sadly enough, there's no way to totally get rid of stretch marks. But *everyone* has them - everyone has to get bigger sometime. Using just regular lotion should help, but they'll fade as you get older. Don't worry: no one will laugh at you, and if they do, they aren't worth your time anyway (because I guarantee they have some sort of mark somewhere they don't like). Good luck -James

Stretch marks are VERY hard to get rid of but cocca butter can help make them less noticable but it takes a long time lik 6 months but its worth it

Stretch marks can be annoying. :) They fade over time but they most likely won't dissapear altogether...but don't worry about the stretch marks, just enjoy life and be happy!
