What Are The Causes To Get Stretch Marks And How Can I Get Rid Of Them ?
I am a 17-year-old female. I am considered underweight for my height but I have stretch marks on my hips. I haven t gained or lost any weight. They were never red, they surfaced white. I started to put cocoa butter on them. They haven t gotten better, if anything they ve gotten worse. How did I get them? How can I get rid of them?
