There is no permanent treatment for stretch marks. When there is a sudden weight loss or sudden weight gain we get stretch marks. Initially they are itchy, later they fade.
Next Steps
You can use calamine lotion mixed with olive oil 3 to 4 times daily to reduce itching.
Health Tips
Using olive/castor/ coconut oil is good as it moisturises skin and improves elasticity. Use on wet skin 2 to 3 times daily. It will help the stretch marks fade.
