Hi.Stretch marks at the sites you mentioned are quite common and may result from sudden or gradual gain or loss of weight.Retinoic acid preparations can help to some extent in improving the stretch marks.Other options include Chemical peels and Lasers.Consult a Dermatologist to understand which of these would suit u best.
