Brief Answer:
The stretch marks would remain, the colour differences will fade with time

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Stretch marks occurs during rapid phases of growth when the underlying structures grow at a greater rate as compared to the overlying skin. As a result, the skin breaks and the fibrous tissue fills up the intermediate area, the area that we refer to as stretch marks. Since the cellular composition of the stretch marks and the rest of normal skin are different, stretch marks would not go away no matter what you do and what you eat. Doing anything would not help you in removing the stretch marks. Just eat healthy and other than the cosmetic odd looks caused by the marks, you will be fine.

I would insist you to relax about the marks.

Brief Answer:
You may try and apply tretinoin

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

You may try using tretinoin or other retinoic acid creams. They might help in the stretch marks fading but they would not go away. I am unaware of the contents of blosom n blosom cream and hence cannot comment upon it.

About other things that you can do and apply, the following link may be of help to you in this regard:
