What does a stretch mark exactly mean?
When our skin expands or contracts rapidly, a specific type of scar called a stretch mark is created. Collagen & elastin, which sustain our skin, tear from the sudden change. Stretch marks could develop while the skin recovers.
These fine bands on the skin don’t appear on everyone. Hormone fluctuations occur to be a factor. Your risk may also be elevated if you have a family history of stretch marks.
Stretch marks are more likely to appear at the following times:
1. Puberty-related growth spurts
2. Pregnancy
3. extreme weight loss or increase
4. weight training while your muscles are rapidly growing
