If you are serious about getting rid of stretchmarks, your best bet is to see a dermatologist. They may be able use laser surgery or dermabrasion to get rid of them. Some other options are hormones and steroids (ick).
Lastly, insurance probably won't cover any of this.
Lotions, potions, and creams over-the-counter don't work.

ya I heard that before creams and lotions don't work. But I am curious, most cheesy bodybuilders who are most interested in showing off their bodies ( rather then strenght), I never saw any stretch mark on their body. Some people I know even don't have resources to go to dermatologist. What that people do?

Dermatologist. Once you have them, it's the only way. There have been some great advances in laser therapies lately & it's not terribly expensive. It is pricey, though, but if they're small, you want to get it taken care of now.
In the meantime... to prevent further stretch marks, get a good skin moisturizer or a lotion from your dermatologist. Every bodybuilder I've known uses more lotion than any woman that I know, besides the massage therapists that is.

They may get spray on tans, use makeup and so on. Bodybuilding.com might have some info.

Haven't tried it, but aloe is supposed to help as well, and it's quite inexpensive in the health food section (look for tiger balm those things, it's there, tube of 99% aloe is usually $4 or so).
Great for dry skin and burns too.

I heard of vitamin E being used for stretch marks but never tried it myself. If you find something that does work let us know(I've had mine for 27 yrs)
