there is no real way to get rid of those. unless you have lots of money to spend on laser surgery. dont waste your time on creams THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL. you do not need to sun tan if you are black already. the best thing to do is apply stay-on makeup to those areas.

Once your skin firms it will be less noticable.

cocoa butter!!  get it in the stick form (usually in an orange container looks like a glue stick alomst) and rub it in several times a day over and around your stretch marks.  after doing this for a week or so, put on aloe vera after you shower also.  you should see results within a week or two.  they will never completely go away but they will be almost invisible if you do this for about a year.

palmer's cocoa butter.\n\nyou will want to rub it in 2-3 times a day.  you should look for it in the tub.  it is thicker than regular creams.  the thicker the better.  it takes a while to disappear, but mostly my opinion is that the constant rubbing motion is what helps reduce the stretch marks.  we have had two children and no obvious marks, only a few in the hair line.  you can even find this stuff on e-bay.\nhope this helps.\ngood luck

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.

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.

100% pure cocoa butter. Put it on everyday and throw some aloe in there. You're stretch marks should start to be a lot less noticable within a few months (I don't know when they fully dissappear).

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!

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.

Yeah, cocoa butter and Vitamin E.  Palmers makes a formula especially designed to help heal stretch marks.  Just remember that these products must be used several times a day for several months before you see results.

Try rubbing the areas with lemon juice every day, it helps fade the marks quite well...;

stretchmarks are impossible to get rid of, but if you use cocoa butter on them every day, they will fade quicker
