Photoshop?\n\nSorry, I know you probably wanted a serious answer, but that's how I'd get rid of them.  It works for wrinkles, moles and freckles, too.  :)

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

None, stretch marks are scars, they are there for life. When they first appear they may be dark in color, but they'll lighten up over time. There are expensive creams that claim to reduce the appearance of them, but you will never get rid of them.

There are creams that are available at the local walmart that can decrease the appearance of scares, these creams are most commonly used for stretch marks. Creams will only lighten the scars, which happens naturally eventually. The only way to eliminate scares is laser surgery, which is expensive and can be dangerous. I would encourage you to wear them proudly, like battle scares. They represent a bad time in your life, but one you survived. Good luck.

Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do to remove those marks. But the good news is that you will get fewer if you ever get pregnant again. There is no cream or anything that will tae those off. It happens to everyone.

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.

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!

There is no medical proof that creams really help prevent stretch marks, even though some clai, they do.  The best way to prevent stretch marks is keeping weight gain steady, gradual, and moderate. Also, a good diet is always good for your skin's elasticity. \nIf you already have stretch marks, you can feel good knowing that they will gradually fade to a silvery sheen. You can also discuss with a dermatologist the possibility of reducing their visiblity with laser therapy or Retin-A.

There is no real way to prevent stretch marks.  Lotions, retin-A, and cocoa butter may keep the skin supple and soft, but these tears often occur at deeper levels of the skin than can be reached with topical emollients.  If your skin is predisposed to stretch marks, you'll have them, and that's pretty much all there is to it.\n\nOver time, most stretch marks will fade and blend into the skin.  The best way to deal with them is to just accept them.  I call mine "medals of honor" for going through an arduous labor!

Hi DJ, I do not what to disappoint you, but I have got stretch marks as well and I can tell you that none of all so-called stretch removal creams or alike do not help, do not waste money.However, I can suggest you how to prevent a new stretch marks - Usually you fell itchy in particular parts, so do not scratch and if it is possible apply moisturizing creams or oils, but try not to scratch. My sister was pregnant, she followed my advise I she does not have stretches on tummy, but she did not take care of her legs (because she gained weight)and there are stretch marks.Take care

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.

Vitamin E oil or cream will help and also coca butter, rub it on your stretch marks daily.  They will also lighten up at time goes by, like along time goes by.

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.
