Q: Stretch Marks

Hi everyone,
i'm not pregnant, nor am I planning on becoming pregnant any time soon. I do need a little bit of help though.
I gained 20lbs over the course of about six weeks, and we left with some lovely stretch marks because of it. I have since lost the weight, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any ways to make stretch marks fade. I know it's impossible to make them go away completely, but fading would be nice.
Thanks to anyone who helps!

P.S. I found this forum about a month ago when a friend had a pregnancy scare. I didn't really know where else to take this, so I figured you ladies might know.

Palmers cocoa butter can help with the fading.....It won't take them away completely but it will make them less visable

Stretch marks are genetic.
Meaning, if your mother has them you are probably going to get them too.
there isn't a cream that will remove them forever, because of the fact that they are genetic.
But the creams can help fade them so they are less visible.
