I don't know, but I have them too. I am 17, what I've heard is that they are just normal growth marks, and that they will go away as time goes by. I wouldn't be worried about it, in fact I am not about mines.

If you are under 18, you likely have stretch marks from weight lifting, and I'm guessing you weren't a very stocky guy to start with.  They will go away, though possibly not for a year or two.  There are products you can use to ease stretch marks, the same as pregnant women use for their stomachs.

Because your stomach grows during pregnancy, aka "stretches" and then sorta goes back to original form...hence the stretch marks. Its a simple theory really...

Stretch marks not only come from pregnant and fat people, but also unhealthy skin.  You should take some omega 3 fatty acids for your skin's health.  You need to moisturize as well.  Most of us have stretch marks.  They are really hard to get rid of.  Prevent by eating right (Sugar ages you and your skin FAST so treat it like the poison it is) and keeping your skin moist from the inside and outside.\nGood luck!

I used to body build and stretch marks are a no no...you need to buy vitamin E enriched lotion and apply it to the area every chance you get.  Taking vitamin E pills will also help.

NO--STRETCH MARKS NEVER GO AWAY. BUT THEY FADE IN TIME. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON CREAMS AND LOTIONS. STRETCH MARKS ARE JUST PART OF LIFE. GET OVER IT.

Stretch marks that are new and still red have up to an 80% chance of decreasing with Retin A.  Stretch marks that are already white and are old will not go away - they are scars.

Go to my question in the health and beauty section of the health and beauty section; it asks for help from 'other mums, or docs or nurses or dermitologists', it asks about stretch marks, as well, mine are from having a child; but all stretch marks are the same, scarring from the skin stretching.  It has quite a few answers so far.  Hope this helps!

Mederma is one cream that's helpful against stretch marks. Also, Palmers Cocoa Butter is really good.

You should see a doctor.  There is a condition that causes that, but it needs medical attention to fix it (and to stop it from getting worse).  In older women, it is usually because of osteoporosis.  For younger people, it is something else that may require a back brace or even surgery.  Please see a doctor.

The stretch marks are actually the very thin skin in between.\n\nUnfortunately there's not anything that will remove them.  It's "emergency skin" due to fast weight gain (pregnancy).\n\nYou can improve the appearance by using prescription Retin-A .1% cream.  Take about 3 months to see progress.\n\nWe discuss stretch marks and extra skin after weight loss at the Kimkins Diet site.\n\nWarning - Don't use Retin-A if you're nursing or pregnant.  It's serious medicine.

stretch marks happen when your skin has to rapidly grow due to weight gain, puberty, height and pregnancy.  you can use coacoa butter lotion to help but once you get them they are there forever.  they are scars.  you cannot surgically remove scars.  they can just reduce the appearance.  they are PERMANET.\n\ndont worry.  almost everyone has them for some reason or another.  I got mine from puberty when my boobs and hips grew.

I have known men with stretch marks.  Especially men who have bulked up with muscle, so they will find stretch marks on their chests, arms, thighs.

Unfortunately, stretch marks never go away, but they can fade with time.  When I went through puberty, I went from being flat as a board to being a voluptious C in a matter of a month.  When you grow that fast, your skin can't catch up and you end up with stretch marks. I had very dark stretch marks from it.  Use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Creme, which is also recommended for pregnant women to prevent stretch marks.  \n\nI've been told baby oil can also help, but I haven't tried it myself. \n\nYou're young, and they will fade.  You can hardly see mine now.  I'm Japanese and I have a darker shade of skin, and I've noticed that when I get too much sun, the stretch marks are more noticable, so you might want to limit sun exposure and use a higher SPF.  \n\nDon't be self-conscious!  Everyone has little "blemishes" about them.  You're beautiful!  \n\nHope this helps!!!

stretch marks, without cosmetic sergery, you have no other options. Fat legs imply that the rest of your body is rather okay compared to your leg. And if this has been so for a considerable period in your life, again without the sergery, you have very little options given that you're not going to starve yourself.(and even that won't help you.) for the stretch marks, if you want to fix it on your own, use vitamin E ointment. it may help the red marks turn skin tone by 3rd week. however, chances that the stretch mark will disappear is slim. The leg, you can help by speed walking or other exercises that require you to move your legs constantly at a certain pace. I really hope you achive your goals in losing weight and looking great. =) all the best.

Stretch marks ("striae" is the medical term) occur in skin that has stretched (usually with growth of something underneath it). Most commonly this occurs with pregnancy (rapid growth of the abdomen and breasts) and sometimes with puberty (rapid growth of the female breasts). It can occur with weight gain or height gain by itself.\n\nIt occurs in particular people and not in others because of differences in the collagen of the skin.\n\nThe collagen is a long protein that is used in making up the stuff between the cells. There are several different types of collagen depending on what part of the body it's being used. In our skin it comes as sheets and long strands and is responsible for the skin's tensile strength and the ability to keep other stuff out and our cells together.\n\nMany families (I think the majority of families, in fact) have a type of collagen that when it stretches can cause stretch marks.\n\nAsk your mum and dad about who has stretch marks in the family. You might be surprised!\n\nThere is no sure-fire way to removing stretch marks. Various ways that have been tried include laser / dermabrasion / cocoa butter.
