i got those shortly after i started training hard a few years back, i went from 160lbs to 213 lbs in a matter of months, u get em if gain or lose weight quickly

u cant really get rid of them, but you can lessen their appearance by using something like mederma

I heard cocoa butter can help make them less noticeable.

Coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter.  All are good for stretch marks.

They probably came from gaining weight but turned red once you started losing weight.  Never heard of them burning before.  I have an ample supply of stretch marks but I do have a decent amount of fat on me.

I think he was saying he gained 2.8% BF, not that he was at 2.8% BF.   Not sure about everyone one else but I look at my stretch marks with pride and consider them battle marks.   Granted mine don't burn.
