Stretch marks are commonly faced by every body of us ones in life. More importantly, people are very scared of these scars. Stretch marks are just the scars. They are generally associated with pregnancy, obesity, bodybuilding, puberty, and intense physical activity. Scars are the result from overstretching of the skin. Over stretching disrupts the normal production of collagen, causing a scar.
Cause of stretch marks
Human skin is composed of three layers, the epidermis that is the outer layer, the dermis that is the middle layer, and the subcutaneous stratum that is innermost layer. Stretch marks occur on the middle layer that is dermis. Middle layer or dermis helps the skin retain its shape if the body is stretched. But if it is stretched continuously over period of some time over time, some of its parts remain overstretch. This causes loss of elasticity and causing the connective fibers within to break. The result is stretch marks. The most common cause of stretch marks is pregnancy. Over a period of time stretch marks can fade, however the scars continue to remain if untreated. Keeping the skin hydrated, moist, and elastic is the best way to prevent scars. This can be done with the help of creams.
