Stretch marks are strips which appear on the surface of the skin. They are mostly red or white in color. They are mostly present in places where there is more fat stored, like tummy, thighs, buttocks, upper arms and shoulders.
When Do They Develop?
Stretch marks develop in the following situations:
Conception- Stretch marks are mostly seen when a woman conceives and they are noticeable during trimesters. The body takes out hormones which soften the ligaments in the pelvis so that they are more flexible. The hormones along with softening the pelvis also soften the fibers in the skin which make them prone to stretch marks.
Heredity- Many studies have proven that stretch marks are hereditary. If your parents had them, then it is a possibility that you also might get them.
