Hello,
Very frankly speaking,these stretch marks can no be lightens by use of calamine lotion.There are several ways by which these marks can be lightened but most of them are expensive.
I would tell you some natural home remedie s which can lighten these marks.
Apply wet hot cloth on these marks for few minutes and then vigorously rub Vicks vaporub in that.Do it at bed time before going to sleep.
Can Rub lemon juice on it.
You may apply glycolic acid on it.It is readily available at pharmacies.
Apply VIT E oil on these marks twice daily.
Do these things regularly for 8 weeks and see the result.
Thanks
