How can I lighten the colora of my stretch marks?

My stretch marks are a very dark purple color, and they contrast a lot with my pale skin. My mom says that they will lighten as I age and eventually they will hardly be noticeable, but as of right now I am so self conscious so I just need a easy and cheap remedy to lighten them without medication and lasers.

Stretch narks should fade over time.  I'm sorry yours are dark in color.  Have you consulted with a dermatologist?  Simple vitamin E that you break open the capsules and get the liquid out of are helpful.  You rub it into the stretch marks.  But if OTC things aren't working, you should see a doctor.  What are they from?  Did you have a pregnancy?

I haven't talked to a dermatologist. I'm a teenager, and my mom says it's because my body is growing. I have them all over my body. Areas such as the back of my knees, my inner thighs, my lower stomach, my boobs, my upper arms, my back, and even my vagina and butt. I haven't been pregnant.
