Really owwwie stretch marks???

I knew I would get stretch marks since I was "blessed" with some when I hit puberty, but I had no idea that they would HURT! There are a few that I swear are almost bleeding! What the heck! Is there anything I can do? I smear my poor belly with cocoa butter all the time, but of course I still look like a cantelope. Any suggestions???? Thanks

I used lots of lotion too, but just wanted to say that I commiserate with you! I never realized that my belly skin would be so tender when I got stretch marks. Sorry I don't have more to suggest, but hang in there! :-( In the end, it'll be worth it!
