Stretch marks are a common skin concern that affects both men and women of all ages. They are scars that appear on the skin as a result of rapid stretching or shrinking, causing the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin to tear. Stretch marks can occur anywhere on the body, but they are most commonly found on the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, and breasts. There are several factors that can contribute to the development of stretch marks, including rapid weight gain or loss, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and genetics. When the skin is stretched rapidly, such as during pregnancy or rapid weight gain, the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin are pulled apart, resulting in the formation of stretch marks.
