A Stretch Mark is a scar that starts developing when the skin shrinks or stretches quickly. Due to this abrupt change, the elastin and collagen that are responsible for supporting our skin start rupturing. When the skin heals, these stretch marks might appear. However, not everyone will be developing stretch marks on their skin. There are some people who are at a higher risk.

The most common times when you might develop stretch marks are:

● Growth spurts during puberty
● Rapid weight gain or loss
● Pregnancy
● Rapid muscle growth because of weight training

Conditions like Marfan syndrome or Cushing’s disease can also result in stretch marks. If you apply a corticosteroid to the skin for longer periods, it can cause stretch marks. When the stretch marks start appearing, they will be pink, red, purple, dark brown, or reddish-brown, depending on the colour of your skin. It will be itchy and feel slightly raised. As time goes by, the colour will start fading and the narrow band will be sinking under the skin. When the stretch mark has matured, you can feel a little depression by ...
