Stretch Marks

A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. The abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin, which support our skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, stretch marks may appear. Not everyone develops these narrow bands on their skin. Fluctuating hormone levels seem to play a role. You may also have a higher risk if people in your family get stretch marks.

If you develop stretch marks, you’re most likely to do so during these times:

• Growth spurts that happen in puberty
• Pregnancy
• Rapid weight loss or gain
• Weight training when you have rapid muscle growth

Scars and stretch marks are both types of marks affecting the surface of the skin. Stretch marks can often look like long, thin scars. But the two are very different in the way they’re formed. Most people have at least one scar on their body, and no two scars are the same, partly because the way scars heal varies widely from one person to another. People with black skin or with fair freckled skin and red hair tend to produce poorer scars than others

Part of the natural healing process, scars not only appear on the skin but can also affect internal parts of the body. When the skin or tissue is broken as the result of a cut or other wound, it starts to heal itself within a couple of days by producing collagen where the damage has occurred. Collagen continues to build up at the site of the wound to fill in the injured area, making the affected skin red, raised and often bumpy. However, most scars become paler and smoother in time – though it can take a year or two for them to fade.
