okay, well i discovered that i have like four little stretch marks on my knee, to the side and trust me, i was NOT pregnant (well it wasnt on the stomach anyway,) or gained wait so fast... my parents say it could have been that my bones and stuff inside me could be growing fast and the skin wont grow fast with it?? but trust me,,, i did NOT gain like pounds in a month... i'm the same old weight that i was before.... sooo what do u think it could have been?

Umm im not sure but if your really worried about it just go see a doctor.

well no need to see a doctor.. i just hate it!?

coco (sp?) butter lotion

i have some on my hips

Cocoa butter. Yup yup. In the meantime you can use a coverup stick to hide the marks. And I have stretch marks on the back of my knees...it's basically what your parents said. You're growing and your skin is stretching so you get stretch marks.

I don't think there's even surgery for it. I have them on my hips as well.

Cocoa butter lotion? coool.
What i've heard is that pure vitamin E oil gets rid of stretch marks, scars, etcetc.

I have the same problem.. when i was little my insides grew faster than my skin so i have stretch marks up my back and in the inside of my thighs... i have this stuff from avon i am using seems to work ok...

Yeah basically waht your parents said... I dont think theres a way to get rid of them, you just have to wait until they fade away...you could try cocoa butter or something with vitamin E

When i was younger (bout a year ago) and my boobs were still growing i got them on my boobs. After they stopped growing the stretch marks went away which as wierd. I have perminent ones on my thighs though...i think i might try cocoa butter like someone suggested.

I don`t know but coco butter works good.

i wish my stretch marks would go away.
vitamin E doesn't work on me.

agreed on the cocoa butter lotion tip...i haven't tried it myslef, though i should since i have stretch marks of my own...but i've heard that it works great:thumbsup:

I have some too I used Mederma/Cocoa Butter lotion and they were gone in like a month and a half

Don't worry you're just growing into a woman.

i always wanted to try the mederma stuff.
i should since you said it worked heh.

thanks guys.. do you get cocoa lotion from bath and body works??

Has anyone that actually USED cocoa butter vouched for it? I mean.. I tried it awhile ago, but it never worked for me..

whoa

That helps.

i guess its different for people..

but does it really go away 100%??

because my mom said it never goes away

because it's your skin that's ripped..

and where do you get the cocoa butter lotion?

So I know this girl, shes really really really really really obese, More than that. She has stretch marks on her arm just like in the middle of no where would that Cocoa butter stuff work for her? Because if it does, I'm going to try to get her some to help ease the eyesore for everyone in the classroom.

um i have them too except i have a gazillion in between my legs & on my side.i went to the doctor about it, it's that your body is growing,and your skin isn't ready to stretch that fast.you can't really do anything about it is what he told me..

Cocoa butter will help fade them. If it makes you feel better, most people have them and are concious of them as well.

cocoa butter doesnt really help me =/... it might seem like a stupid question but honestly where do yooh get PURE vitamin E oil from? jus wondering cuz i would totally go out & get it. i have stretch makes on my hips & lower back yuck

i went 2 my doctor she said the only thing that yooh can do is jus buy something to fade them- that`s the closest way to getting rid of them.

i went to target and bought

cocoa butter//vitamin E lotion that was

together..

when does it fade away?

i've been useing it for 3 days about..

It's perfectly normal to have stretch marks as a teenager. Common places to get them are knees, breasts, and sides. They'll fade, and cocoa butter works really well.

my friend has them on her arm.
her arm got longer.

maybe you got taller?

Stretch marks don't go away. If you lose weight, they reduce because the skin is that stretched anymore so, they just become taut. And cocoa butter really doesn't work all that great.

yeah oh well just put make up over it.. well ew.. like put pan over it.. iono..

I have some on my tummy but even before i got them i asn't comfortable showing my stomach so i dnot mind that part really, i do mind the ones on my upper arms and thighs though, im gunna ask my mom to stop by bath and body works when we go to the mall next month for new school clothes lol.I 'm going on a diet starting of yesterday so I really hope everything will lighten.
