Stretch marks, also known as striae, are a common skin concern caused by the stretching of the skin. They often appear as parallel lines of red, purple, or white marks and are most commonly found on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks, and thighs.
Stretch marks or striae, are white or pink coloured linear scars that develop on the skin when it gets stretched beyond its normal elasticity, causing the supportive collagen and elastin beneath to rupture. The consequent healing process results in the appearance of stretch marks. Stretch marks commonly form on the shoulders, abdomen, calves, hips and thighs. They might reduce gradually, but do not disappear completely.
