    i wouldnt worry about them. the same thing happened to me last year, but apparently they're there to stay unless you want to pay a fair bit for laser treatment.

    If you know an Aromatherapist, you can ask them to make you a blend to use on them.

    Best oils to use are Mandarin, Lavender, Frankincense, Patcholi, Neroli & Sandalwood blended in a carrier oils selected specifically for your skin type.

    I'm not sure if you have an interest and I can't guarantee it'll work but sure it's worth a shot. I don't think they ever really go away

    I don't think there is anything you can do to get rid of them. I wouldn't worry about them too much though, I have them on my sides and boobs from when I lost weight and I know lots of other people that have them. You always think they're more noticeable than they actually are.

    Bio oil helps fade them.

    They say that it isn't the oil, it is the rubbing motion that helps them fade.

    Ya don't need bio oil or anything like that they fade eventually anyway
