Accepted Answer

I : I wish i could tell you there are effective treatments for stretch marks, but honestly the ones on the market are not very effective. I have heard good things about mederma, it's worth a try
in all reality time is the best thing for stretch marks. Over time they fade and become less noticeable. You can prevent further stretch marks by not losing or gaining weight too fast.
If any doctors here on avvo know of any effective treatments please feel free to comment on this post!
good luck.
