Stretch Marks On Hips?

Well... Summer is getting here and I've had these stretch marks on my hips for a really long time now. They're a bit darker than my natural skin color obviously. I also have them on my inner thighs. I grew into my body too quickly and I gain and lose weight pretty quick as well which caused these stretch marks. I wanted to know if I can tan this summer even if I have stretch marks on my hips. My hips are kinda fat too. It's like a slight muffin top.. :/

I've tried using cocoa butter, nothing.

I've tried using olive oil, nothing.

I've tried scrubbing and massaging them while in the bath/shower, nothing.

I've tried applying moisturizing lotion, nothing.

I don't know what to do.. They won't go away and I've heard stretch marks are there to stay forever but I've seen a lot of people lose them. I just need some help getting rid of them or making them less noticeable... And if I can tan this summer.. Gah.

    Tanning usually makes them worse, never better. I mean it since I have heard that. On the site makemeheal they have people who do stuff for this. Some people say that microneedling has helped with this but research it on needling (also called dermarolling) sites to get a good brand and to make sure you do it right. Peels and lasers are another option, but I would stick with a good peel. Moisturize ALWAYS, with alpha-hydroxy or Amlactin (available at CVS) and really, I say find what people who get rid of them did on sites like makemeheal -- enter in getting rid of stretch marks on serious skin people sites. You can disguise them with self-tanner but that seems very hard to do.

    I feel it can be satisfactory that a male- Matt B has pointed out that it can be stunning to have curves even with stretch marks then to don't have any curves with out a stretch marks, considering stretch marks are usual and quite a few ladies and guys get them. Stretch marks develop below the dermis from rapid development, now not necessarily just over weight individuals. Merchandise that claim to eliminate them are frequently not worth your money because they do not attain the layer underneath the epidermis the place the defect is. They do fade over time, mine have. They're still there but are the equal color as my dermis, they are simply strains. I do not think there's any "quick way" to do away with them. I just recommend to now not allow them to dry out- so moisturizing and hanging sunscreen on them within the sun.

    The only good fans of All Time Low, Simple Plan, pop-punk bands like them, and Warped Tour-core bands are those that are willing to think for themselves. But that's harder to find than a good Warped Tour band or good whiny, mainstream, angsty pop-punk song, ain't it?

    Bottom line: pop-punk=sh|t while Warped Tour=waste of time AND money!

    You need to work out and loose all the fatty-ness. I think that is the only way now. Sorry. :(
