Stretch Marks, known medically as Striae are actually a type of scar presenting as lines or streaks on the skin. They can be pink, purple or white in colour and occur when the deeper skin layer is progressively stretched and loses its elasticity.

They are generally associated with puberty, pregnancy, obesity, bodybuilding and abuse of steroids.

It commonly occurs on the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, back and breasts.

Its difficult to completely avoid stretch marks. But if you can avoid sudden weight gain or loss and manage weight properly chances of stretch marks can be reduced.

Moisturize Regularly – Using deep nourishing moisturizers or natural oils make skin soft and pliable thus may help reduce formation of stretch marks a bit.

Treatment is aimed at improving the rough texture on surface of stretch marks and rebuilding healthy collagen and elastin beneath the scar tissue.

It’s hard to avoid developing stretch marks and even harder to treat them.
