Stretch marks are defined as fine lines on the body that occur from tissue under your skin tearing from quick growth or stretching beyond its elasticity. It is a common condition and does not cause any significant medical problems but can be of cosmetic issue for some people.
Stretch marks occur in certain areas of the body where skin is subjected to constant and progressive stretching. These include:
- Abdomen and breast in pregnant women
- Adolescents undergoing growth spurts (thighs, buttocks, breasts)
- Shoulders in body-builders
- Obese or overweight people
Stretch marks are a result of damage to the tissue layer of your skin. To date, there have been no "cures" for stretch marks but ways to minimize stretch marks can be found in natural products like cocoa butter and vitamin E oil, and products sold through retail distributors by many different names.
