They fade with time to silvery. Honestly almost everyone has them (men too) and they're no big deal

Hey girl, Let me tell you this is completely normal. Your probably experiencing significant amount of growth in a short period of time and this is normally when you hit puberty,
things like Lotions,creams, coconut oil,- aloe Vera vitamin E oil, vitamin A, bio oil, retinoid (often called tretinoin) creams or hyaluronic acid, These can really help to fade them and make three else noticeable. But it’s normal and more people than you think have stretch marks, and your beautiful no matter what, love yourself the way you are.
Hope this helps 😊
i have them too! they are perfectly normal, a lot more people have them than you would think. mine are on my hips. i use bio oil and palmers cocoa butter. i promise you they do fade!
