The skin like fields in the drought season is not a secret pain of women.
Almost everyone has at least a few stretch marks. Stretch marks can even be viewed as a good thing, as they are a clear sign of changes happening in your body and the way your skin communicates. “Stretch marks are a natural part of the skin and changes we go through throughout our lives,” says Samantha Ellis, a dermatologist and clinical instructor of dermatology at the University of California, Davis. These ugly stretch marks are a type of scarring that occurs when areas of skin rapidly expand or contract. This sudden change damages the skin’s important structural fibers – collagen and elastin, leading to stretch marks as the skin heals. The care or healing of stretch marks requires a proactive approach. Here’s a guide to preventing and treating stretch marks. Causes of stretch marks Pregnancy is one of the best known causes behind stretch marks, with sudden weight gain being one reason. However, according to Dr. Ellis, anything that promotes a rapid change in body size can cause stretch marks. This includes losing weight or gaining muscle too quickly. In addition, genetic factors can play a role in the cause of stretch marks. So don’t be surprised when stretch marks appear without an element of unexpected weight gain or loss. Remember that the reason behind them is what you need to pay attention to.
