Stretch marks are a common skin condition which is generally painless with no physical irritation and creates no adverse health problems. They are most commonly seen on body areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, hips shoulders and thighs. Women are more likely to get stretch marks as they have more subcutaneous fat, which has less cohesive cellular structure.

Stretch marks appear as small, lined, indented streaks that are rougher than the surrounding skin. They are usually pink, reddish-brown or almost purple in colour due to micro blood vessels breaking up and bleeding. Over time, they generally lose their bright colouring and become selvery-white, shimmering lines. The rough texture, however, tends to remain.

What causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks appear when the skin is stretched beyond its natural elasticity due to rapid growth of the body. When this occurs, the underlying dermal skin tissue grows faster than the skin layers covering it, causing small ruptures in the epidermal surface.

Abrupt stretching of the skin also releases high levels of glucocorticoid hormones into the bloodstream, which disrupt the body's normal production of elastin fibres that keep the skin elastic and supple, and collagen protein fibres that provide strength. This lack of supportive material results in the skin becoming weakened and leads to dermal tearing.

Scar tissue then proceeds to grow in these torn areas, creating stretch marks. Worse, the epidermal cells are also affected, so the epidermis becomes thin and flattened. Stretch marks thus usually appear as a result of pregnancy, slimming, bodybuilding, steroid consumption and even puberty.
