Hi, I am a 17 years old teenager. I have stretch marks all over my body, more than a pregnant women. I feel ashamed of it, like its not normal at all, none of my friends have it. I even have them on my breast. Also I have uneven skin tone for example my chest is white my stomach is brown. Day by day its getting darker and I am losing my skin tone and I feel really ugly about it.
