Ideas about teenage DS stretch marks?

My DS has developed stretch marks on his back, does anyone have any suggestions as to what we can to to help them? I know they'll fade eventually, but he's self conscious as it is and it saddens me that he's now got something else to be conscious about. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Completely normal - DH has them (very faint now ) from the teen growth spurt. Would have thought most men do (between waist and hips?). Had the body of a god too when I met him a year or two later. Praps he needs to see them more like first stubble ?

Bio Oil and moisturising his skin regularly when still wet out if the bath/ shower can help, my DN had a lot of very very red and sore stretch marks in her early teens and Bio Oil helped. Try to get him drinking more water too, mine flared up during pregnancy when my skin was dry and itchy, sometimes it's genetic and you'll get them no matter what when growing/ stretching but sometimes more water and aqueous cream can help.

DS has them too.
I have plenty on them myself from teenage growth spurts. There's not much you can do but wait for them to fade.
