Difficult to Treat: Stretch marks are very hard to treat. In terms of preventing more from showing up, much of this depends on your genetics. Stretch marks happen from rapid changes in your size. You can try to slow your growth. Good hydration may help, keeping your skin well moisturized might help as well. In terms of treatment, I generally recommend laser or PRP/microneedling for improvement.
