Soo I'm only 16, 5'3 and 102 pounds but for whatever reason I have horribly embarassing/noticable stretch marks on the bottom part of my legs/ the calves. I haven't gained any weight recently. What is going on and how can I get rid of them? :(

Stretch marks are caused by the skin stretching when the body grows quickly. It doesn't necessarily mean your fat, but it could be due to gaining muscle in the area or rapid increase in height or widening. Many many many people have them, and it's completely normal. I have them on my inner thighs and hips. They usually show up on places like stomach, breasts, upper arms, legs and hips. I don't know of a way to get rid of them completely but I've been told that applying a moisturizer with cocoa butter in it or BioOil helps to reduce the appearance of them Don't worry too much, they're normal, and fade over time. Good luck! :)
I had the same problem but no cream ever helped because stretch marks are like scars there's dead cell tissue buildup that you can only mechanically remove. I researched all kind of methods and settled for microdermabrasion because it's not painful and you can do it yourself at home if you have microdermabrasion crystals. It takes time and discipline but it works. I exfoliated before the shower and now my belly and hips are smooth and stretch-mark free. I mixed those hard crystals with organic shea & cocoa butter & coconut oil(love the scent).I'll leave you the link to the site where I order my crystals which are larger in size then those used at dermatologist so, no machine is needed you can massage them with your hands.
i dont think you gained weight, i think you lost it o.O
