What are stretch marks?

• Skin will not come back in its original form if
  it has been stretched by rapid growth because of
  pregnancy, weight gain, or extreme weight loss.
  Instead, it becomes marked by a form of scarring
  called stretch marks, or striae.Mostly, stretch
  marks start off as reddish or purplish in color,
  and then become glossy skin that further appears
  streaked in silver or white.Men and women can
  get stretch marks on several areas of their
  bodies, including the abdominal area, thighs,
  hips, breasts, upper arms or lower back.

How are stretch marks treated?

• There are many treatment options available for
  stretch marks. Generally, treatment of these
  scars is quite difficult. Mostly treatment
  improves the appearance of stretch marks and will
  not cause them to go away completely.Patients
  respond differently to treatments, and so results
  vary widely. If you are serious about dealing
  with unwanted stretch marks, it is best to be in
  the care of a dermatologist who can recommend
  your best options.If you go to a dermatologist,
  he or she will take a detailed medical history,
  including medications you are taking. Some of the
  medications can cause stretch marks, and it is
  very important to be open and honest with your
  doctor.
