What is an effective way to fade stretch marks? will the acid in lemon juice help? something with a bleaching agent?

Time cures all.: Stretch marks form as a result of tearing of the deep layers of your skin when it's elastic limits are exceeded. There is no truly effective remedy for this, although laser treatments can help in shrinking them somewhat. However, getting rid of them completely is not possible unless they are situated in an area that is to be removed as part of another operation such as a "tummy tuck". Buyer beware
