Rapid growth and change in weight, up or down, are two very common causes of stretch marks!. You are actually stretching your skin, permanently damaging it!.

Over time, they will thin out and the angry red will fade to a silvery gray, but they will not completely disappear!. If you run your hand over them, you can actually feel them!. The skin feels "thinner" over them!.

BTW, most every woman gets them!. Not fair, but at least you're not alone!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

When you lose weight you typically get stretch marks especially if youve gotten considerably smaller!. It happens because your skin is stretched and then when you lose weight and isnt stretched naymore it is just sitting there!. They most likely wont fully go away but they will probablly get considerably lighter!. Try cocoa butter!. Not the lotion but the butter!. There is also all kinds of different stretch mark creams and things like that that will help diminish them but time is the main one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They probably just look bigger and deeper because you've lost some weight!. Don't worry, they didn't expand or anything like that!.

Everyone gets stretch marks; they're normal!. They happen when your body is rapidly growing and the skin stretches!. Unfortunately they will never go away, but you can use scar creams to make them less noticable!. A good product to use is "Mederma," and you can get it at your local drug store!. It's a bit expensive, though (a big tube for $30 and a smaller for $20) but it's worth it!. I used it on a large scar on my leg and it's smoother and less noticeable!.

Its really just part of life!. It usually happens when you go from being bigger then getting smaller!. Thats why a lot of women get them while they're pregnant and they usually are more noticable after they give birth!. I got them really bad after I had a baby and lost all the baby weight! They were a very dark purple, after time they will turn to a lighter pink or clear!. I can still tell that I have them but they arnt really that noticable to others (only if i point them out)

u can use creams if u want but my dr said nothing permently removes them, plus i heard the creams burn!

hope my advice helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

there's bio-oil for stretch marks at walgreens and tummy butter by palmers at wal-mart that will help and prevent them bio-oil is more expensive but works better you have them because you either got taller [depends on if they're going up and down or side to side] or when you gained weight in the past most of the time they fade over time but don't completley go away without helpWww@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone has stretch marks!. It doesnt mean your fat!. Ive seen girls who are TINY who have had them on their hips, lower back, and especially boobs!. All of the areas you mentioned are puberty spots, where your boobs fill out and your hips widen!. Ive been putting on cocoa butter and it seems to help a little, im not sure if it will ever go away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

stretch marks happen as your body changes!. You're still growing!. Your breasts, hips, and thighs are growing and changing faster than your skin can stretch!. Doesn't matter that you've lost weight, you're still growing!.

Stretch marks don't go away without surgery, but they will lighten up, especially if you use a vitamin e lotion!.

You just get them during puberty!. (Most girls anyways)!. And i have heard that loseing weight can make you get themto!. It's weird and yes it sucks, but theres not much you can do!. They won't go away, but the will fade over time!Www@Answer-Health@Com

almost every woman has them somewhere!. when your body is rapidly changing size, bigger or smaller, it has an effect on your body!. don't fret though!. it's not a big deal since we all have them or some kind of flaw!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
