Stretch Marks? BUT I'M SO YOUNG!

I've had them on my hips for a few years (im seventeen) and i'm kind of big so i thought that was why, but for a while i rubbedpalmers cocoa butter on them every day and they are almost completely gone. I also lost some weight and i think that helped. Also ive heard that if you have red or purple ones they can go away but white ones will never go away completely

I believe the red and purple ones are actually your veins.
if you wear tight clothing or something that is tight, like it doesn't fit you tight then your veins show.
My mom told me that. Since I asked why she had purple and red marks on her legs.

No they aren't because I have them. What it is is the tissue rips there and it is red or purple when it is healing itself.

well first off alot of young teens have stretch marks.

just because you have them doesn't mean anything is medically wrong or anything so no worries over that.

but yes it can be embarassing but really don't worry it is nothing to be ashamed of.

use COCOA BUTTER every night.

it wont make a huge difference but it doe s help on mild or small strtech marks.



(:




hope it helps.

Omg! Me too I have some on my legs only, but I don't really care if anyone looks at me like wtf.

i have a couple on my upper thighs, so its embarresing wearing shorts or a bathing suit. im pretty sure its because i gained weight. i wasnt worried about them because i thought they would go away but they havent. do they ever just fade? or are they there forever unless you use something on them?

[Silver_Wolf_Kitty]

Sometimes they fade on their own, other times you need to use products with vitamin e in them to help. In some cases they do not go away, but you are still young and growing so that is partially why they are there right now. Use cocoa butter or a lotion with vitamin e everyday and you should find that they fade.

Yeah don't get emmbrassed. I started to get them last year when i was 13 too. I don't really try to remove them cause every one could have them. Some times when they are really noticable and i don't have time to treat them i just put alittle cover up on them untill i can treat them.

I've had them for a whiiiiile and they are very annoying. They can be caused by just growing and getting older. They will go away eventually :]
