: You have options and YOU have to make your choice:1.ErbiumYAG fractional laser: the most studied laser for stretch marks.Good results, May pigment, but a cream and sunscreen will improve that.Expensive.2.Topical Retinoids:better if prescribed( RetinA)Adapalene is OTC but weaker, May itch&amp;turn red, long treatment.3.Do nothing: wear sunblock with Zinc oxide to avoid pigment.They all turn white later
