-- Posted by Anonymous at 5:11 pm on July 3, 2009 So.... ever since I got stretch marks when I was going through puberty I quit wearing shorts. Nowadays the marks aren't red and very bad at all-- they've actually faded to this white fleshy kind of color, but I mean... I don't know. I'm still quite ashamed of them... 7 years later :| It's summer. I'd love to wear a v-neck short sleeve shirt and short khaki shorts... or just any pair of shorts in general. Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with stretch marks? I just want to wear shorts again, goddammit. -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 5:11 pm on July 3, 2009 Once they are white... that's the most normal they go. You can't do anything else with them. -- Posted by Aileyy at 5:12 pm on July 3, 2009 cocoa butter to fade them but even when you tan they will become less obvious. -- Posted by 0h h3ll n0 at 5:12 pm on July 3, 2009 i don't think there's anything you can do to them if they're not new. i hate mine too. -- Posted by adam 247 at 5:12 pm on July 3, 2009 use bio oil -- Posted by My Dreams WILL Wait at 5:13 pm on July 3, 2009 Try coca butter, it's really good and don't forget to drunk tons of water -- Posted by Lally at 5:13 pm on July 3, 2009 im dealing with stretchmarks myself. i bought some Stretch Mark Gel that reduce the appearance of stretchmarks. I have been using it for a year, and it works wonders. :) -- Posted by whiteregit at 5:17 pm on July 3, 2009 tanning does help.. a little.. ive noticed after tanning for half the summer mine arent as visible as before.. -- Posted by mtgirl118 at 5:19 pm on July 3, 2009 Most people won't even notice them. Wear them with pride!
