    Stretch marks are permanent, but they can fade over time.

    There are products on the drugstore shelves that may help with the visability of them, but once you have them, you have them, and a lot of men and women do.

    They are caused by the skin being stretched, but become more visible, for some, when weight is lost.

    Cheers, h.

    Stretchmarks are really common and everyone can get stretchmarks. Some are lighter than others, but there's nothing wrong with them but I understand if you don't like the appearance of them.

    Like the comment above has stated, they're permanent but can fade over time. If you are wanting a product that's good for reducing the visibility - since there is nothing out there than can remove them completely - I think Bio-Oil can help with the appearance of them.

    Anything with vitamin E, oil of lotion, will reduce the appearance, but you’ll always be able to see them. Some less than others depending how prominent they are. Embrace them! I understand not liking their appearance, but love yourself as you are. They show where you’ve been and how far you’ve come.

    Most people have a certain amount of vanity, don’t apologize. Heck that is why I lost weight.

    As far as your stretch marks go, you notice them much more than anyone else will.

    Cheers, h.
