Myths about Stretch Marks

Sometimes people have misunderstood the caused of stretch marks. They think only women can get stretch marks. Here I would like to share some myths about stretch marks.

• Stretch marks can only happen to women or pregnant women to be specific. This is WRONG. Stretch marks happen to both men and women.
• Only fat men and women can get stretch marks. The fact is, it can also happen to thin men and women.
• Can we get stretch marks at yourng age? The answer is YES. People at young age can also get stretch marks. Sometimes, people have started having stretch marks since they were only 8 years old.
• Only pregnant women can get stretch marks and women can not get stretch marks without being pregnant. This is absolutely wrong.

Therefore, the fact is, we have to understand the caused of the stretch mark itself. At the same time, know what stretch mark is very well. Stretch Marks basically look like crackles in skin (more or less as the picture to the right), caused by the breaking down of skin's connective tissue in deep skin layer (dermis) due to the loss of collagen and Elastin.

Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the elastic middle layer of skin that allows it to retain its shape. However, when constantly stretched, the dermis can break down leaving behind stretch marks.
