Suggest Treatment For Stretch Marks

default
Posted on Thu, 13 Feb 2014
Question: Getting straight to the point, I have stretch marks :( Which is soooo weird because I'm about 120 pounds, I'm 16, african american/asian, & the people in my family are all thick. Not fat, but thick, but they started off small as me but got bigger after aging & having kids. But they don't have stretch marks on their butt due to any of that! BUT ME? I DO! I will say over the past 1-2 years, I've gained a lot of butt due to depression & exercising (they go together, I promise, lol). Which coukd cause the stretch marks... because I know it happens because of rapid growth but I just don't understand why none of my other family members don't have the same problems... maybe I'm not meant to get thick as I get older, but I'm embarrassing & I can't even go swimming because of it. It has discolored my butt too! I just want my normal skin tone back. I'm brown skinned, & my butt has BLACK coloring & a little brown D: Additional, the stretch marks are DEEP, they're dark brown/black & they're now coming onto my thighs :( It used to be on jus lt my right leg & now my left one too! I cannot live like this! Please help me. & cocoa butter & XXXXXXX butter just don't work for me :( Any natural remedies?! :)
