#StretchMarks

Stretch mark- the thick lines we dread to find on our skin. Unlike acne, this is one condition that very few people will escape having; males and females are almost equally affected.

So what causes a stretch mark?

#Dermatology Image
A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. During this rapid stretching/shrinking of skin, some components of the skin called collagen and elastin rupture and as the skin heals, it can form a stretch mark
Stretch marks are likely to develop in puberty (from growing rapidly), pregnancy, after rapid weight loss or gain, or when weight training and you have rapid muscle growth (now you know why weight lifters get them).
