Nothing helps strech marks there from the skin ripping from the inside out all the oils will just help the redness and the itching.

My doctor said the same thing. That they are the under layers of skin ripping. Lotion will keep you from itching so much. I'm covered in them :( makes me sad

It's not your skin ripping lol it's your skin stretching. DO NOT SCRATCH WHEN YOU HAVE AN ITCH. Scratching promotes stretch marks. When you feel an itch come on try putting more lotion on and rubbing not scratching.
I try with all my might to avoid scratching and instead rub lotion. I'm of petite body and have not developed stretch marks.
Cocoa butter works you just have to get certain kinds. Like that Queen Helene cocoa butter or whatever it is, garbage. Don't waste your money on it. Try the cocoa butter sticks instead, you can get them at any CVS or Walgreen or Wal-Mart or Target. Also Bio-Oil I heard is really good.

Seriously, if it was your skin ripping our skin would never be able to repair itself. After a while the stretch marks go away, right? Right. It's the collagen fibers stretching in the dermis layer of your skin.I'm a medical student, I know what I'm talking about.
