Stretch marks

I used to be really really skinny and then put on quite a lot of weight in a very short time.
Although I am not fat and have a normal weight now I believe, I developed some stretch marks in the inside of my thighs. They aren't large, but I guess they would be noticeable if I would be wearing a bikini or very short shorts. :frown:

So does anyone know what I could do to make them go away or lose their blueish colour??
I intend to lose all the extra weight I gained in the next months, so would they go away from that?

I am quite freaking out, because I am scared that they'll stay... :frown:

Thanks.

They will fade from that nasty blueish colour eventually. But, they won't completely go away :frown:
I think they make creams that are supposed to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. They'll never go away entirely, for sure, but if you are concerned about their appearance, you might want to try something topical.

I've had a very similar problem.

They will fade - however, Bio oil (boots - £8.95) and Palmers cocoa butter (about £5.99) are both meant to be good for stretch mark reduction.

Take care.
