Stretchmarks are a common skin condition that generally appears as red or white marks. This condition arises due to sudden stretching of the skin. As the body grows and the skin is stretched beyond its elastic limits, the cementing material of the dermis, collagen is destroyed or damaged, leading to the formation of stretch marks. The possible reasons for stretch marks are as follows:
Pregnancy
Puberty
Heredity
Weight fluctuations
Corticosteroids
Medical conditions
