What are stretch marks

by Jane lowell
(gallatin tn usa)

What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks are scars that appear on the skin due to a rapid growth of underlying tissue causing the skin to overstretch an ‘tear’. In case of pregnancy, the skin is under greater tension due to the fast changes occurring in the woman’s body.

These hormonal changes can also disrupt the production of collagen, which is the compound that makes up the connective tissue in the epidermis, and thereby resulting in scars tissue formation popularly called ‘stretch marks’
