Stretch Marks- Medicines or creams don’t work very well on Stretch Marks ideal treatment is to do Fractional Laser 1 session in a month upto 6-8 sessions needed. At home you can apply Deriva MS Gel once in a week at night ( very little over stretch marks only.)

There are two types of Stretch marks... White and red. Since yours is 3 years old I suppose it's white. We have limited treatment options. You can go in for some retinoids based cream or procedures like microneedling, laser etc
