What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are a form of skin scarring that manifests as narrow, long streaks or stripes on the skin's surface. While they can appear on various parts of the body, they are most commonly found on the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, upper arms, and lower back. Stretch marks form when the dermis, the middle layer of your skin, is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. This pulling action disrupts the normal production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain skin's elasticity, leading to a form of scarring that becomes visible on the outer layer of the skin.
What Causes Stretch Marks?
Here are some of the most common causes of stretch marks:
Skin Stretching: Rapid growth or weight gain can cause the skin to stretch, leading to the formation of stretch marks.
Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones like cortisol can weaken skin fibers, making stretch marks more likely.
Pregnancy: The physical stretching of the skin, along with hormonal changes, often results in stretch marks during and after pregnancy.
Bodybuilding: Rapid muscle growth can stretch the skin and contribute to the appearance of stretch marks.
Genetic Factors: Some people are genetically predisposed to developing stretch marks, regardless of lifestyle factors.
