Doctors often refer to stretch marks as stria,
striae or – during pregnancy – striae
gravidarum. The tummy (abdomen), buttocks,
breasts and thighs are the areas of the body
most often affected. Stretch marks are often
red or purple to start with, before gradually
fading to a silvery-white colour. They're
usually long and thin.
What causes stretch marks?
Stretch marks are the result of the skin
suddenly stretching. The middle layer of skin
(dermis) breaks in places, allowing the
deeper layers to show through.
The dermis can be stretched:
during pregnancy
as a result of weight gain
due to growth spurts during puberty

Treating stretch marks
Most stretch marks aren't particularly
noticeable and will fade over time.
If you have unsightly stretch marks, or if they
affect a large area of your body, you may
want to try one of the treatment options
available.
Creams, gels, lotions, laser surgery and
cosmetic surgery are all used to treat stretch
marks.

Preventing stretch marks
In certain situations, such as during
pregnancy, it isn't possible to prevent stretch
marks.
However, maintaining a healthy weight and
looking after your skin can reduce your risk
of getting them.
