Is there a way to remove dark, fat, and long stretch marks by summer? i've had them for 8 months. if so can you please tell me how?

Cannot remove: You may be able to lighten the stretch marks by using a bleaching cream prescribed by a dermatologist, but the stretch marks will never go away since they are essentially a scar.
