Is it possible to get rid of them? Some say yes and some say no? Do you think its possible and do you have a home remedy or some off counter cream or whatever to get rid of them? Have a lot of stretch marks on my tummy and tried coconut butter cream but still can't get rid of them.

Hi dear the best way is to go to Dermotologist ( skin specialist doctor) and see what he says. Dont apply creams and stuff and later on looking for more remedies Wish u all the best Take care

Thanx cupid, I was thinking that dermotologist is quite costly and hoping to get something cheaper to try on.

Come on I'm a stay at home mon and trying to cut cost becasue of the price raise of gas etc... and my hubby is not making much. Spent most of the money on kids and family. The only cream I tried is the cocoa butter cream and it doesn't work, that's why I'm trying to search for something that is cheap and could work for me.

Yes it is possible, and there's a home or a more natural way of doing it instead of using commercialized creams that can be harmful to skins, you can have a read on how to do it here: http://www.squidoo.com/stretchmarkremovaltips

Hi , I dont think you can get rid of them fully , but you can make them less noticable . I have always used cocoa butter and that has helped me a great deal . also, avon has a strech mark cream i hear is real good . Vitiam e oil is very good too .

I have hear that Vitamin E is the best cure for stretch marks. I believe that is what most doctors prescribe. I also have heard that cocoa butter is good for it too, but you said you've already tried it and it hasn't worked.

Thanx Opal I think maybe I should try a different brand of cocoa butter oil or something.
