Several years ago i gained a substantial amount of weight, and developed light stretch marks, now roughly a year after losing most of it, they have not faded and gotten worse (darker, deeper) even after using cocoa butter regularly. what can i do?

Stretch marks: I'm not sure that there is any treatment for these, but perhaps a plastic surgeon could evaluate and advise you about available options.

Cosmetic: unfortunately nothing, the stretch marks stay...you can see a dermatologist and they may recommend cosmetic procedures.
