i have hideous stretchmarks all over. i've had some of them way back from when i was about 15 or 16. i have the "white" kind...

what should i do? no...expensive surgery (if there is any) is out of the question...don't have the bucks for it.

help?

Hi

I have the white stretch marks too on the top of my thighs.  I have no idea where they came from because I'm not overweight at all, but my mom seems to think they're from 12 years of dance and stretching.  Anyways, I was looking for a way to make them go away the other day and one website I found recommended Vitamin K cream.  I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to.  I'm not sure if you can get it in stores or if you have to order it.  Thought I'd just pass it along!

Hope it helps!

Shea butter is great for stretch marks.

nothing can make them go away.. surgery can make them be less noticeable but they will still be around. sorry creams wont help. its in your genes =x

Everyone gets stretchmarks - even men. I think they come from all that rapid growing in the teen years. Itīs natural and believe me, worse things will happen to the body, over the years.

Not being a mother myself, I have been very impressed with the cool way mothers deal with the consequences of childbearing. They seem to see every stretchmark and every extra pound and bump as a love-mark - a celebration to their child. I try to view my aging the same - as a celebration of the living I have done so far.
