As what they've it is really impossible to get rid of stretchmarks. I have a stretchmarks due to my pregnancy. I find it to be so uncomfortable, but I think it is really so normal to have it. Some would say that a surgical treatment is needed to get rid of these marks. I read in an article that a cocoa butter lotion helps to minimize the presence of stretchmarks.

When skin changes shape so quickly such as gaining/losing weight or pregnancy it can cause stretch marks. So it can't often be seen with obese people. Those who are slim can have those too. It is difficult to totally get rid of it but you can try massaging the marks at least 3-4 times a day with moisturizers/creams which contains cocoa butter as prime ingredient. But this is normally effective in the early stages of having stretch marks.
Going under laser treatment/surgical procedures is one of the ways we can do as well, to get rid of it. Without undergoing such procedure, it is impossible to fully get rid of those ugly marks coz they are already scars in the dermis of skin and when we see stretch marks on our skin it means that the scars were healed.
