Red stretch marks on teenager

[BarbieKew]

My daughter has developed quite extensive dark stretch marks on her front / inner thighs, and is upset as they look a bit like blood dripping down her legs.

I’ve been reading up on treatments and creams and came across Bio Oil, the reviews seem pretty good.

Anyone got experience of reducing red stretch marks or any other suggestions to help?

micro needling will help them heel and scar patches slowly help but do work.

I had them at the same age. They are barely noticeable now but I remember feeling embarrassed about them too. Bio oil could help fade them but it really just takes time. They're more obvious on whiter skin; would a salon fake tan be an option before the holiday?

She could also try some waterproof body foundation or blur. I used this when younger to cover a burn scar. They will fade but this might give her a bit more confidence.
