A couple of months ago, I gave birth to my first baby.  I noticed that the stretch marks on my tummy are still purplish/dark brown in color.  Any way that I can get rid of them so I can wear my favorite shirts again??

Not sure they will ever go away permanently but I found that rubbing (massaging) cocoa butter into them helps alot!

There's no miracle product to get rid of stretchmarks, that's a fact!  But in time, they will fade or lighten up in color.  There are ways in trying to speed up that process, though.  Cocoa butter applied on the affected area, and use a product like renova.  Ask your dermatologist about these products.  You can also get them on any local or online pharmacy or skin care stores.  The best of luck!
