Is there any way to get rid of stretch marks on my inner-thighs and hips? I've heard of cocoa butter, but apparently it only helps the skin to stretch naturally, like for pregnant women, thus not creating the stretch marks in the first place.... I've had them for almost 5 years... Am I completely hopeless?

if you have stretch marks that are more than a few months old, then you're out of luck. there are no products or treatments that will get rid of old stretch marks completely. that usually only applies to new ones or preventing them in the first place. the most you can do is find products that will help fade some of the color but they will still be there. sorry.

I have stretch marks on my stomach and on my arms. They used to be a deep purple:eek2: . I used a cocoa butter lotion on them and they are almost invisible. It's really almost impossible to see them since they are the same colour as my skin now.:)
And if they don't go away don't worry because everyone has them.

Hum... not as much as me... I said inner-thighs, but in fact they go all around my thighs, down to my knees, and the whle width of my hips...

Well all i can say is use the creams. It took about 6 months for them to go away. And i used the stuff every day and rubbed it in for like 5 mins each day. I don't know if that's what your supposed to do but it's what I did. :)

moisturisee a lot
Stretchmarks are common in teenagers for a few reasons.
Yes they're ugly. But they're natural. The only real way to get rid of them.. is prevent them in the first place. When growing up, exercise, moisturise.. even then you may get some.
I have loads of them.. and i hate them. They're a good few years old and will never go. I got them from growing too fast. Since they're so old, they're not as noticable as i'm so pale.. i dread to think what i'd look like with a tan. I would imagine they wouldnt be too bad as i am a lot thinner now so that's helped with reducing the appearance.
If they still affect you when you're older i suggest laser surgery
