As I gained weight I developed ugly stretch marks. Now I'm losing the weight will these go on their own or am I stuck with them? Also, is there any cream or anything I put on them to help them?
Thanks!

    They will NOT go away. They WILL fade and become less noticeable.

    You can try putting bio oil on them. You can find it at your nearest drugstore/pharmacy. I bought some, but never really got around to using it lol. But people say it's good for fading stretch marks and scars, etc.

    I read somewhere that if they are new stretch marks (bright red/purple) then if you lose the weight they could fade to barely noticeable because they haven't actually scarred the skin yet, like the silver/white stretch marks.

    Not sure if this is true though, you might wanna google it:tongue:

    Do you have a few or several?

    Either way, they'll only fade over time. EXFOLIATE daily and slather with vitamin E rich body-butter.
    Or laser removal if you have enough of them.

    At your age, you might be lucky enough to have them fade away.
