    Wow, it's nice to know that everyone gets them. I have them on my arms, thighs, stomach, back of my knees, boobs, you name it. It's obviously mainly because I'm overweight, but my Mum has never been as big as me, in fact she's always been quite thin, and she has them too.

    They fade in time. The ones on my boobs are hardly even purple anymore, and the ones on my arms are hardly noticeable anymore. Very Happy

    I hate the really deep ones... Disgust

    I have them on my hips, thights, arms, and boobs.
    I used to stress over it a lot, but I don't care much about them anymore.

    I have them on my inner thighs and boobs. So i looked it up one time when i was really obsessing and found out that aloe oil works really well. I tried it and it does. :-)

    I've got them on my inner thighs and my hips. Thankfully since I'm black, they're just slightly lighter than the rest of my skin and you can hardly see them Con

    I've got angry red stretchmarks on my stomach (from pregnancy), and it doesn't seem to get lighter like the doctor said it would. Hmm, maybe Palmer's would do the trick. I really envy women who don't get stretchmarks from pregnancy (ahem Heidi Klum ahem).

    But it's nice to see that I'm not alone! :)

    Ugh, I hate them. Absolutely hate them.

    I get them on my legs, and bit on the butt. I'm just hoping I won't get them anywhere else. They're horrible, and they take forever to fade. And even as they fade they don't go away completely. :/

    I hear Bio Oil works well on them though...

    I was like, a little twig child, seriously, you could always see my ribs and stuff. I looked malnutritioned if I lifted my shirt up. I grew really quickly though and like, I gained weight and muscle and got healthy, but it happened too fast and now I have a few stretch marks, especially around my hips.

    I think I have some on my like, my lower torso too. But I'm not sure. Those could be scars from previous injuries. I never paid that much attention. I hate it.

    I have them on my thighs, and I got them in middle school when I got way taller. I didn't really think anything of them at the time, but I HATE them now, and they're at the point where they're faded and white. Once that happens, I've always been told you can't change them, but I gave the Mederma stretch mark creme a try and they're practically gone. Good stuff!

    I have this exact same problem and I hate them!
    I've started to use Bio Oil but I have yet to see any results.
    I wish it would work faster.
    I'm sick of the sight of them. XD

    I have recently discovered 2 on my upper arm I never wear singlets now because friends always mention them if they see them on my hips, my friends don't have them so they always tell people
    I have them on my thighs too, the ones further up my thigh have faded to white but the ones behind my knees are still pink, it's embarassing, i can't wear short shorts in summer =[

    All my stretch marks have faded. They used to be dark purple in colour, but some have faded to white, while the two on my stomach are a light pink. But I'm sure they're also on their way to fading. Hopefully.

    I hate the ones on my legs though because you can still kind of see them.
