Some people are just genetically predisposed to getting stretchmarks. I'm sure many pros have them, but on stage they have so much tanner on that you could never tell and in magazines, they're all photoshopped off.
Don't worry, they'll fade in time.

Mine are starting to go, but they're still pretty bad. I use them as a guide to how much Ive grown this past year.
Cocoa Butter and Bio Oil helps alot.

Cocoa Butter is a huge success for those with a darker complexion. I had stretch marks and got rid of them by using cocoa butter.
However, it's easy to prevent stretch marks. You must keep the skin oiled. My Mom had 4 kids and she doesn't have stretch marks because as soon as she learned she was pregnant she kept a bottle of coconut oil in her purse and oiled her body throughout the day. She did that all the way up to delivery.
Granted it was a very tedious job but it paid off in the end because he skin is flawless. My sister did the same thing with the same results.

like everyone else said, coco butter and bio oil are great.
but i would suggest giving vitamin E oil a go, just rub the oil directly onto the stretch marks and they should start fading.
My brother got burnt as a child and my mum rubbed vitamin E oil into him everyday and he doesnt have one scar on his body from it.

Does anybody besides me find it ironic that a guy answers about a "womans" stretch marks and how to fade them?
ETA - Not calling the OP a woman...

What can I do about stretch marks?
There are several treatment options for stretch marks. The degree of success with any treatment will be impacted by your age, your skin tone and even your diet. Treatment options include:
Surgical methods
Dermabrasion, chemical peels, or laser surgery can be used to address unwanted stretch marks.
Lotions and creams
Over-the-counter stretch mark treatments are available. Ask your doctor to recommend one. And, if you are pregnant, discuss your concern with your doctor at the beginning of your pregnancy, before stretch marks develop, so that preventive treatment can be started.
Diet and exercise
Drink plenty of water. Adequate hydration keeps your skin soft and less likely to develop stretch marks. Caffeine can increase your risk of stretch marks. If you're stuck on your caffeinated coffee or tea, make sure you balance the fluids. Drink just as much?or more?water as you drink coffee, tea, or soda. Stretch marks can also result from nutritional deficiency. Be sure to consume foods that promote skin health: foods rich in zinc, such as nuts or fish; foods high in vitamins A and C, such as carrots and citrus fruits and milk; protein-rich foods, such as eggs.
It's best to be in the care of a surgeon or dermatologist. He or she can determine which treatment approach is best for you.
