I've been skinny my whole life, but during puberty I got a lot of stretch marks on the sides on my butt and my thighs. And recently, I got a few new ones in the inner part of my thigh, probably because I had a crappy work out regime this past year. (I've been getting better at it 😜 )

My entire family has stretch marks, and it is genetic, so it's not in my control. All I can do is try to keep new ones from coming.

Try not to worry too much about it!! If it's any consolation, I do have a thing for guys who have stretch marks 😉

Don't worry, this is very normal. So don't be annoyed with it, it's natural too. I have ones, and that's because I used to be on the near-obese level. When your body size have been larger (or smaller) before, of course after working out you'd get stretch marks.

As for how to prevent or deal with it?

They're mainly from puberty and also weight training.

Most effective method for me to reduce their appearance was to moisturize using shea butter and/or bio oil.

Hope it works for you too!

I have them and my dermatologist prescribed a regime of creams and glycolic acid to help remove them. It's taking a long time, but I see improvements.

Same, I got really fat in high school. There's laser treatments available as well, a little bit expensive.

It's impossible to completely get rid of them but you can get them to the point where they are barely noticeable if you are tan. (Note don't tan after laser, they will tell you that…)

My main solution to this was to do strength training to "look as good as I can."

I'm not a model, so ...

Since childhood, they just grow with me. Now i just dont care and think the tan hels to hide it.

Stretchmarks are also common if you gain a lot of weight fast, whether through exercize or lack there of.

I'm about 31. I have a few from gaining muscles, but they do disappear. If not completely, they're barely noticeable. If you're around my age, I wouldn't worry.

Fat or muscle could cause this perhaps.. Try monitoring your weird, daily caloric intake, and exercise pattern. Making Adjustments to these slightly over time with a healthy goal in mind at a reasonable pace (no more than 5-10lbs a week perhaps).. and lots of cocoa butter to mitigate the issues with skin and it's major changes it's undergoing. the younger you are the better you will heal from this with regards to skin, depending on the severity and rate of change too. so.. yeah.

Good luck,
best wishes,
don't forget you're beautiful no-matter what!

I'm not that big, but it happened anyway. I moisturized all the time. I don't think that really works. The marks aren't because your skin is dry, it's because it's being stretched. Some people get them easily, other's don't. Not much you can do without a cosmetic procedure.

I'm still in the process of working them off, but I completely understand your frustrations with them, as I now have many that I fear will never go away.

Some people get them when their muscles expand/shrink. 
I have some of the side of my ass.

Try using cocoa butter lotion after you get out of the shower everyday. It may help reduce the marks, or prevent more from developing.

Thanks. Will give it a try.

I feel so down because of my stretch marks. Not so willing to go for surgery.
