I have them all over my stomach, and along the side of my torso. I have little, tiny, unnoticeable stretch marks on my inner thighs, arms, and breasts.
They suck, but I'm learning to wear them with pride. No way am I shelling out 8000 dollars and going through an immense amount of pain just to have them removed. I'm vain, but I'm also cheap.0 -

This may sound scary a friend of mine did it and her marks look thin and white, Boric acid and Vitaming E oil. Mix it and apply it like cream around the affected area, wrap area with clear wrapping paper (the ones you use to cover dishes). Rinse in the morning, is an overnight technique i am going to try it and see what happens!0

Live with em. LOL. I have horrendous stretch marks all across my back and hips from puberty. (funny, I really love the tiny stretch marks I have on my biceps from lifting....)0

They're going to turn white and thin over time ANYWAYS. When they're red/peach/pink, they're still fresh and haven't fully healed.0 -

Boric acid is poisonous and causes liver damage. It is used in insecticides. It is also lethal to infants.
Let us know how it works.0 -
This is awesome! I love it!0 -
Cocoa butter. My stretch marks were all pretty fresh, too, since I gained weight very quickly in a short amount of time (I have some pretty weird ones, too, from when my cortisol was very high). Many of mine have faded (except the weird ones... womp womp).
OP, don't use boric acid.
I can't.0 -
Wait .. what?
Don't put boric acid on your skin.0 -
Ha ha! Awesome. Thanks you guys. I'll just have to be satisfied when they turn white and don't show any more. Life goes on and stretch marks wont kill me, but being overweight might ;P0 -
I had a huge scar from my hip replacement and what worked on that was to open a vit E capsule and rub it on every day. Not sure if it would work as well for stretch marks but maybe worth a try. I have trouble finding my scar now.0

Your best bet would be going back in time to before you got fat/pregnant/went through adolescence, and stop all that **** before it happens.
100% foolproof method.0 -
Ahhh you know what forget it!! Is scary thanks for the feedback!0

can't remove them.0

Time, moisturizer and general good skin care. Mine were pretty terrible after the birth of my daughter, and now almost a year later, their still a little white and visible.
Instead of trying to change the way they look, you should try changing how you look at them I look at mine as badges of honor for being able to carry my daughter as long as I did, and then for being awesome and losing the weight I've lost so far.
Good luck!0 -
Hey FYI I once read to put boric acid to remove a wart, including genital warts. BWAHAHAHA at the guy with boric acid on his wing-dinger!0

They don't go away, sorry to say, but a trick used by a pregnant friend to avoid getting more was to mix denatured alcohol and glycerin and rub it like there's no tomorrow. They even sell the mix on a pharmacy here in my city... may be worth a try.0
