Stretch marks are a usual woe among people who are conscious about their skin beauty. We know that, they are formed due to the rupture of collagen and elastin fibers on account of the excessive stretching of the skin. They initially appear in areas like abdomen, breasts, and thighs as pinkish linear markings and later become silvery white depressed lines and gradually fade with time. In dark complexioned people they are seen as white and in light complexioned people, as pink bands of varying length and breadth. The appearance of stretch marks is predisposed by certain factors.
Dry skinned people are more prone to stretch marks whereas oily skinned people are less affected. Deterioration of general health can result in the loss of strength and elasticity of skin. Nutrients like proteins, vitamins, iron and zinc are essential for the skin and their deficiency may lead to the formation of stretch marks. Adequate intake of water is very essential for the elasticity and softness of skin. Less water in take makes the skin dry that results in stretch marks. Climatic changes can influence the integrity of the skin.
Stretch marks can be a familial problem in certain cases. Ladies having this problem usually give a history of the same in their mother. Those who take excess of fatty food are prone for this condition due to sudden weight gain. Lack of regular exercise can increase fat deposition and reduce the tone of muscles, both of which result in stretch marks. However rigorous exercises can result in this condition as in the case of body builders. Excess intake of steroid drugs and use of steroid ointments can predispose stretch marks. Over work can predispose stretch marks.
Rapid enlargement causes stretching of the skin with the breaking of collagen and elastin fibers. Hence stretch marks are commonly found in areas of the body such as abdomen, breasts, thighs, buttocks, shoulders etc. Even though stretching is the main cause, certain hormones also have some role in their development. During pregnancy there will be stretching of the anterior abdominal wall to accommodate the enlarging uterus. During the second half of pregnancy pinkish stretch marks start appearing on either side of the lower abdomen and later on become silvery white.
Sudden weight gain due to excessive fat deposition can stretch the skin to develop stretch marks. During puberty both sexes will have increase in fat deposition and body surface area that are due to hormonal activity, which results in stretch marks. Compared to boys, fat deposition is more in girls and hence they are found more among girls during puberty. Cushings syndrome is an endocrine disease due to the hypo-secretion of adrenal hormones. Here there will be obesity with marked stretch marks. Both rapid weight gain and rapid weight loss can cause stretch marks.
Stretching of the skin due to excess of physical activity is the main cause here. Bodybuilding causes sudden enlargement of muscle size resulting in more stretch marks. The common sites are shoulders, thighs, deltoid region, gluteal region etc. Topical drugs can cause insufficient production of collagen and elastin resulting in the weakness of skin. Edema is the collection of fluid in the intercellular space. This can occur anywhere in the body. Prolonged edema due to kidney and liver diseases can stretch the abdomen and cause stretch marks.
