Vick's Vapor Rub * Exfoliate daily – use a loofah or scrunchy to remove daily. * Vic’s Vapor Rub – Many people have reported success using Vic’s Vapor rub by applying it to a washcloth or paper towel and rubbing it forcefully into the scarred skin on a nightly basis for a few weeks. * Increase Circulation – by taking hot baths and massaging the areas regularly. * Tanning – Go sunbathing! Tanning can diminish and even eliminate minor stretch marks. Be sure to use sun screen.

Vitamin E Gel * Vitamin E Gel – Break open vitamin E capsules and rub the oil into the skin over the stretch marks daily for 2 weeks. * Unstretch the skin – After the skin returns to its normal, unstretched size, stretch marks often become nearly invisible. * Stretch Mark Creams and Lotions – Using stretch mark creams and stretch mark lotions that heal and beautify your skin can reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

    for anyone else that reads this yes it is
    from growth because as you go through growth spurts your skin grows
    as your hips get wider and you get more of a womanly shape.

  • William Edmondson:

    Cocoa butter doesn't really work for stretch
    marks that you already have. It's actually better for preventing
    new ones. Like Icebox April said, they're probably from growth and
    will probably fade away as you get older. At 13, I wouldn't worry
    too much about them either. You're young. Your skin is elastic and
    will more than likely be able to snap back into shape.

  • Barbara Vasquez:

    Ya..baby, weight gain and loss…sucks..even
    when i lose weight, im embarrassed to wear shorts and a bathing
    suit..
