Stretch Marks Treatment

Stretch marks are permanent scars on the skin that appear immediately after shrinking or stretching the skin due to tearing. These can be observed in the form of coloured streaks or lines, but their appearance does not indicate an underlying health issue. The newly formed stretch marks are often red or purple coloured. But over time, they gradually become white or silver-coloured. The sudden change in the skin firmness leads to the rupture of collagen and elastin fibres. When the skin heals from this wear and tear, most individuals experience stretch marks.

This skin condition is not found among all people but may be present in people that have fluctuation in hormone levels in pregnancy or at the time of puberty (due to growth spurts). It can also develop because of quick weight gain or loss or due to rapid muscle growth during strenuous exercise or gym training.
