Change your diet to inclued more vegetable and fruits. Cut out as much meat such as beef and pork as possible. Do leg exercises and walk at least two miles a day. In the evening before bed put aloe vera gel from the plant directly on the stretch marks and let dry. Do this every day until the stretch marks are gone. Aloe Vera in it's purest form, directly from the leaf is used on burn patients to keep the scarring to a minimum and to help heal the damaged skin.

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!!!

Your stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable months after you give birth but will never go away as they are similar to scars.  However, you can see a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:\n\ntretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)\nlaser therapy\n\nYour health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost.

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.

One word: Strivectin. And, its been reappropriated by the pretty people as a fantastic facial wrinkle cream. Everyone I know swears by it. Banish the stretch marks and forego the Preparation-H. All at the same time. :-)

i'm sorry to say this but, there is really no way to get rid of stretch marks.. using vitamin E lotions helps to prevent them during pregnancy but i'm almost positive there is no way to get rid of them once you have them.. i'm sorry! you might try a skin tightening cream.. it may help? good luck!

There's no way that i know of personally to get rid of stretchmarks. There are however ways to lighten them up so that they aren't as apparent. There are treatment creams for making them lighter.

They say there isnt much you can do but I believe that Yoga and stretching can help . If your skin is used to streching then the sudden strain put on it by your changing body will not have the devastating effect that it might have. Keeping skin from getting to dry is a good technique as well. I dont believe the hype about certain lotions being specifically for stretch marks. \n\nIt probably does have to do with genetics and how much elastin is in your specific skin. But having healthy skin will definantly help. \n\nIve had 3 kids and no stretch marks at all. I have however gotten some on my thighs from gaining weight in the past. \n\nIf you are very thin and get very large in your pregnancy I dont think there is much you can do to prevent it. Something has to give.\n\nVitamin E oil is very good for skin. Calendula oil is another one Ive used.\n\nAvoid petroleum based lotions, they make you soft to begin with but dry you out in the long run. Its sort of a pointless venture. Don't use lotions with alcohol either. Alcohol will dry your skin out. Most have alcohol. I recommend a natural oil.

i dont know why they appeared maybe you went through growth spert or something? idk...but i know or heard that you can use coco butter or shea butter to prevent stretch marks..i think thats what preg. women do to help prevent them? sorry i am not much of a help. oh and also i think if the stretch mark is red it can go back (maybe i am not totally sure) but if its white its there perment.

It's not possible to completely get rid of stretch marks, but you can lighten them using vitamin E oil or cocoa butter.

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

There is no non-surgical way to get rid of this excess skin. \n\nSkin does have some elasticity for normal weight gain and loss, but when the skin has been stretched to accommodate vast quantities of fatty tissue or pregnancy, this damage is PERMANENT snd creams and lotions only serve to reduce discolouration.\n\nThis is also true for stretch marks! No way on this earth to remove these either! I have been to several medical practitioners with this problem, and they all say the same thing!

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.

There are creams meant for pregnant women with Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E. They are your best bet for losing the stretch marks. As for losing your moobs (man boobs) you have to lose weight to get rid of your chest fat. That means diet and exercise.
