Stretch marks??
Question: My friend is about 15 years old and he is quite fat. He has all these stretch marks on his arms,knees and hips. If he loses his weight will the stretch marks go?
Answers: No. Stretch marks are scars from where the skin has stretched. If you change your body shape drastically - it doesn't get rid of the scars.
In fact, you can get stretch marks from gaining weight AND losing weight. He might end up with more.
There are some products on the market to help, but my doctor says nothing makes a considerable difference. They're scars.
if he loses slowly and is young enough he should still have a good amount of elasticity in his skin for it to lose them.

tell him to rub cocoa butter lotion where he gets the stretch marks the most....could possibly help fade what is already there and prevent what could pop up later...hopefully he loses some weight though they will fade to blend in with the skin a little better...instead of the purplish color they are at first but wont totally disappear.
stretch marks do not go away once you get them
they're basically tears under the skin...they'll slowly fade but will never 100% vanish
try not to pay attention to them so much, you won't notice them after awhile
