[FLY HIGHHH]

Ok. So I am normally a skinny girl. I'm around 5'3 and weigh 100 lbs.
Recently I came here to Korea and I ate a lot..
not A LOOOOOOOOT but more than I'd usually eat.
One day I looked in the mirror after I took a shower and I saw very visible white lines on both sides of my butt!!!!!!!!
I was in shock because I NEVER had them ever in my life.
But I don't know if it's because I gained weight because there's no difference in my arms or legs..
usually if I get fat then shouldn't my arms and legs look fatter??

Why did I get them??????? How can I make them go away?? T.T cuz I heard they can never go away TT__TT

[STEPHOO--]

they don't really go away . .they just fade .. Try bio-oil or something. I heard that fades scars and stuff.

Make sure your skin is moisturised at all times to prevent further marks in the future. For the current ones, there's nothing much you can do.

[xskyi]

i have them. yeah i know they are annoying and stuff.
My sister told me that you get them when the place you got them growt to fast? something like that. Some of those lines fade away and some it just take longer time. i dont really know what to do about them?

[aznscrewball]

Stretch marks don't appear overnight as white...do they?
Theyre usually red, then turn white with time...

[bohemian.affair]

coco butter/vit E/Bio oil

vit E takes a lot longer for me personally(prob the cheapest, just poke a hole the capsule vit E that u would normally eat and rub it over)
i've never used cocobutter, but my friend has, and she has gotten pretty good results
i heard bio oil is pretty good too, but it makes some ppl break out.

[HappyEndings]

Arghh~ I have some too & I hate it T_TT I'm about your height & weight too...I've been trying Cocoa Butter for my stretch marks and i think they're starting to fade ^^

Thats correct they start out as red and after you've had them for a while they go white.

Stretch marks are mostly caused by weight gain or growth because it's stretching out the skin.

[xcrzybeautiful09]

you should REALLY try coco butter. i've heard that it works. but i've got some myself and i've been using it and its starting to fade away

[M0NSTER*]

I remember when I first got them TT_TT...I was in fifth grade; I had such a huge growth spurt, and I gained a few pounds (I was extremely skinny and had to eat medicine to gain weight). So maybe you grew a bit ...? Anyway, as everyone has already recommended, use cocoa butter. It won't get rid of them but it may help! I've tried using it but it didn't help me too much... Hopefully it works for you!

[--infatuated.]

when you first get stretch marks, they're usually red. maybe you've had them for a while and not noticed? i gained stretch marks because i lost too much weight in a little amount of time. =? weight gain/loss SUCKS. use coco butter, you have to put it on regularly though.

[tifachan]

Oh, don't worry about that. My butt has stretch marks too. ._.

All the food you ate probably went to your butt...? ^^''

[HeffyEnd]

Most girls get stretch marks, it sucks but it happens. I got most of mine around puberty, so I didn't know to moisturize and stuff to prevent them. I didn't even really know what they were back then.

I heard bio oil helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks but I don't know if it'll work when they've already turned white. I have white ones too and I was going to buy some anyway to try. I know they won't go away but maybe it'll make them less visible or smooth them out a little or something.

[envyandy]

i have them too. there so annoying that i dont wear a bathing suite without shorts over it :@
i started to get mine when i was in grade six. i got sick from drinking orange juice or something and lost 10 pounds in 3 days. when i got better i gained about 15 pounds. >_<
ive also heard that red strech marks means that you've gained weight fast and white ones are when you lose weight fast, but not rilly sure if its truee.
thx for the advice too.

[Shortyyy126]

#$@#!@$#%@# stretch marks are evil. i have them all over the side of my thighs, so there goes wearing shorts for me. =T
unfortunately cocoa butter doesn't work too well for me, and i can't get my hands on bio-oil.
i wonder if the dermatologists would have anything better to suggest. maybe you should go to one?

i've tried the bio-oil stuff, and my stretchmarks are not going away =\

scratch that. i just realized the change, lol. well anywho i been applying the bio-oil to my stretchmarks for 2 days. and i just realized today, they're not that red-purple color no more. they're fading white ?

[STEPHOO--]

^really? How long have you been using it for? I personally haven't used bio-oil, but I have tried cocoa butter .. It's actually pretty good.. I only used it for about a week or two .. and the marks we're less noticeable. I stopped using it cuz I got lazy ><"
Myabe you should try that .. it seems less expensive too O.o. lol

[kissmyface]

I've had Stretch Marks on my body for years. It's normal for women to get them..it's mostly from
growing too fast or losing weight too fast. You can try Vitamin E which might help but it won't make your skin mark-free... you'll have to
see a doctor probably if you want to remove them completely ^^;

[Batgirl]

Honey, fat goes where ever it pleases.

[yoo유jin진]

uhmm..I'm not sure..
but I've heard that vitamin E is really good for stretch marks ^__^;
