Don't feel bad, but nobody wants these:
What can you do to get rid of them?
Nothing.
Well that's not strictly true - you can go through all kinds of lengths to bleach your skin and try to get them to blend in, or you could opt for the only REAL method and just keep going for repetitive stretch mark corrective surgery which incidentally, my sister did, and it worked great apparently. The problem is, it's a costly procedure that you need to keep going back for until it's all gone. Unless you have cash to splash, don't.
Good news for all of my fellow poor people out there is you CAN reduce them. There's things that're good for your skin like cocoa butter and rescue oils that with repeated use, are at least good for your skin and promise to make a difference. To be honest though, Vitamin-e creams are best along with wrinkle creams because they build up the skin indention so they become less visible.
Now we get onto the real meat of this matter - if I can't really get rid of them, can I do something?
Yes. COVER IT.
As someone whose a) dropping ridiculous amount of weight and getting these and b) covered in unsightly childhood and high school scarring/burning, I know quite a bit about coverage and recommend the following:
a) Spray-on tan.
NO DON'T RUN. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE THE CAST OF JERSEY SHORE. Just get one that's closest to your actual skin-tone and it'll cover you up brilliantly.
I'd recommend Sally Hensen Airbrush Legs (for more than just legs) featured here
Also rubs off less and just comes off in the shower! Lovely stuff. Fully rate it.
b) Body foundation
Speaks for itself, working as regular foundation with a lot less rub-off.
