Does cocoa butter really make stretch marks worse?

Someone posted on here recently that her dr. Told her that cocoa butter doesn't help and actually makes stretch marks worse!  Has anyone else heard this?  And how can it make them worse?

Hasn't made it worse for me. It's just preventing me from getting really bad ones. It's genetic in my family so of course I got some, but they're not all that bad. No deep purple ones,  thank goodness!

I use Bio Oil and I love it. I got it from Wal Mart for 28.00.

I use cocoa butter all the time because I've had stretch marks from before I was pregnant and they have improved from what I've noticed

I've been using cocoa butter my whole pregnancy and I haven't gotten a single stretch mark and I'm growing like crazy!
