Understanding Stretch Marks: Causes & Treatments
Stretch marks (striae) are scars that form when the skin stretches or shrinks rapidly, causing collagen and elastin fibres to break. Common causes include:
During pregnancy, the skin stretches quickly especially around the abdomen, breasts, hips, and thighs. The sudden expansion can lead to tearing of the dermis, resulting in stretch marks. Hormonal shifts also soften skin fibres, making them more prone to damage.
Sudden fluctuations in body weight can strain the skin’s structure. Whether gaining fat or losing it too quickly, the rapid change doesn’t allow skin to adapt gradually, often leading to tears in the connective tissue that manifest as stretch marks.
Hormonal shifts during puberty, pregnancy, or due to medical conditions can lower collagen production, compromising the skin’s strength. Long-term use of corticosteroid creams or tablets can thin the skin and weaken the collagen network, increasing the likelihood of stretch marks.
If close family members have stretch marks, you may be genetically more prone to developing them. Your DNA plays a role in determining your skin’s elasticity, collagen structure, and overall resilience.
These triggers commonly affect the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts, arms, and lower back, though stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body. While they are not medically harmful, many seek treatment to improve skin appearance and confidence.
