Dear American Girl,

I’ve been noticing stretch marks on my hips and at the

top of my legs. My mom says I’m getting them because

my skin is too dry. I put lotion on them, but they don’t

go away. Can you tell me how the stretch marks got

there and how to make them disappear?

Streaks

Stretch marks happen when your body grows very quickly—such as

during puberty. In fact, most girls (and boys) get them. Putting lotion

on stretch marks might help dry skin feel more comfortable. How-

ever, the marks aren’t caused by dry skin, and lotion won’t make them

disappear. Nothing can actually remove them, but their dark pink or

purplish color will eventually fade to the color of your normal skin,

and you’ll hardly notice them.
