Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body where the skin has been stretched, and they often occur as a result of weight gain. They are most likely to appear in places where fat is stored, including the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, thighs, and buttocks. They pose no health risk and don’t compromise your body’s ability to function healthily.

We have three layers of skin: the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis (middle layer), and the subcutaneous stratum (innermost layer). Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the resilient middle layer that helps the skin retain its shape. When the dermis is always stretched over time, the skin becomes less elastic and the small connective fibers within its break. The result is what we know as stretch marks.

Pregnant women aren’t alone in being susceptible. Adolescents experiencing growth spurts and athletes – especially bodybuilders who practice strenuous and repetitive exercise – are likely to get stretch marks, as is anyone who gains or loses a significant amount of weight in a short period.
