What Causes Stretch Marks

Stretch marks occur when your skin is stretched for a long period of time, and happens either by rapidly gaining or losing weight. Once the fibers in the skin are pulled or “stretched” to their maximum levels, they cause scars. While men are less prone to these unsightly lines it is not unusual for guys to get them.

Pregnant women have to sit by and watch every part of their bodies grow. Naturally their stomachs grow rapidly to the point of no return. And with this sudden growth comes inevitable stretch marks.

And once you have these scars, it’s tough, but not impossible, to reduce them.
