I have experienced this in the past.  All it means is that your breasts are growing (through gaining weight or becoming pregnant, etc.) and your skin is not elastic enough to accomodate the extra growth.\n\nTry using Mederma on it each day.  It will help to reduce the marks and prevent new ones from coming.  Don't worry, the red stretch marks will fade to the color of the rest of your skin.

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

Growth or weight gain causes stretch marks (like pregnant women get on their belly). Weight loss assists, but the best way is to buy special lotions for strech mark removal. available at most chemists.

Actually you can remove stretch marks with cocoa butter. It comes in two forms,the stick, and a lotion. Then stick works very well! When beginning you might see the stretch marks darken but after that they will lighten and eventually disappear!

After 4 children I have them too. Neutrogena has an exfoliator, with the creams to help heal the stretched skin.  You would have to make the stretched skin raw not bleeding but exfoliated and then apply the cocoa butter or stretch mark remedy. Bottom line you will have to make the skin "raw" it'll hurt but it's cost less than laser surgery or whatever else.

Just let time take care of them and don't waste your money on those creams that are suppose to get rid of stretch marks, they don't work.  I have stretch marks from being pregnant and I am 21 too.  I hate them sooooo much, but I have to let time do it's thang!!!

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.

There are lots of commercials that say you can get rid of stretch marks.  Unfortunatly once you have stretch marks  you will probably always have them.  You can use some lotions and creams, and in time they do fade, but they will always remain.  Vitamin E and Aloe Vera are good things to apply to them, but just help make them less visable.  I am not sure if you can get a chemical peel or not for them.  That of cource would be cosmetic surgery, and I suppose if you chose that route they may be able to help you.  \nGood luck and I hope this helps!

I have two children, and where my stomach expanded so much (I was real small before) I have alot of stretch marks. The coco butter theory didnt really work, i tryed - but there's a creme call Eucerin that I started using and it made a big difference, and also Tanning helps them (or the illusion of them). But before i had a few big ones that almost looked like scars and the eucerin actually faded them all the way gone

Stretch marks occur in the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, and common creams can't reach that far deep. Vitamin E and cocoa butter treatments can make your skin feel soft and supple, but they won't make your skin mark-free. You'll need to talk to a doctor, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon if you want to seriously reduce the lines. \nPrescription creams containing Tretinoin, also called Retin-A, may help reduce the appearance of fresh stretch marks. These creams should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This type of treatment will not eliminate stretch marks completely, and it won't work on older marks that have already faded from red. \nA French treatment called Endermologie claims to reduce scarring. A machine with rollers and gentle suction is used to massage and exfoliate the affected area. Again, this won't remove stretch marks, but it may enhance the overall appearance of the skin. Laser surgery is sometimes used to lessen the severity of stretch marks, but the results are mixed. Microdermabrasion has been somewhat more successful in changing the appearance of stretch marks. Both treatments are expensive and should only be performed by qualified doctors.

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!!!

yes: rub baby oil or vitamin e cream on them\n\nAlthough there are tons of creams and other skin products on the market that claim to eliminate stretch marks, the truth is that most are ineffective and often costly. You can't make stretch marks go away entirely without the help of a dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in treating skin problems) or plastic surgeon. These doctors may use one of many types of treatments - from actual surgery to techniques such as microdermabrasion and laser treatment - that reduce the appearance of stretch marks. These techniques are expensive and are not usually recommended for people in their teen years because they are not finished growing and their stretch marks will probably diminish over time anyway.

There is NO cure for stretch marks. Once you have them they will never go away.  They will fade, and become less obvious, but never go away.  Learn to love your body, stretch marks and all.

Stretch marks are Heriditary-your genes usually dictate if and when they will occur.\nThey fade, but only removal with a laser is the definite way to get rid of them. Some people say Retin A works, but DON"T use this while pregnant or Breastfeeding.\nTry palmer's cocoa butter for the dry skin. Good luck with your pregnancy!

No stretch marks do not go away and you can not get rid of them without surgery. They do fade though
