Stretch Marks?!

Stretch Marks?

I'm 16 years old, and recently, gained a few pounds. I am not heavily obese, but i'd say i'm a little tubby.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, i noticed i suddenly got a lot of stretch marks around my belly button and thighs. They're dark purple at the moment. They're really embarrassing and I'm avoiding getting changed in locker rooms and in front of people (like changing shirt).

Will they every go away?. At the moment, i've been putting Nivia for men moisturizer on them and they seem to have faded a little bit.

I really just need some words of encouragement and some information. Its made me quite depressed to be honest. No one, let alone a teenager, wants stretch marks.

Hi Luke , i have the same problem as you do and i am 16 also, i also gained a few pounds because i recently moved to the suburbs, where there is nothing much to do but sit home all day. Anyways, all those stretch marks will a little fade away when time goes by. At first, the dark purple marks appear but the color disappear and turn into a lighter color. However stretch marks usually don't fade away completely. You might like to try some cocobutter to help fade out some. You can also try some treatments but they are costly and expensive.

Don't worry, everyone including me has stretch marks and especially me bc i have quite a few of them. Nonetheless, between 75 % to 90 % pregnant women have to deal with that also and tons of people in this world at least has some few stretch marks.
