Stretch Marks :
Stretch marks appear when the skin rapidly stretches or shrinks as sunken, discolored, scar like lines in the skin. The common regions where stretch marks are commonly seen are the abdominal region, thighs, upper arms, lower back, hips, breasts, and buttocks. Stretch marks usually develop in people who have suddenly gained or lost a lot of weight, those who are experiencing a growth spurt during adolescence, pregnant women, suffering with medical conditions like Marfan syndrome or Cushing syndrome, with a similar family history, those who have been taking prednisone for a long time and those whose muscles are getting bigger quickly through bodybuilding or weightlifting. Stretch marks appear streaked in silver or white, cause irritation and itchiness and make the skin to gradually become glossy. The treatment approach to get rid of stretch marks involves using retinol creams and cosmetic procedures like laser skin resurfacing, micro needling and dermabrasion.
