Causes
Rapid Growth
+
During periods of rapid growth, such as puberty or pregnancy, the skin may stretch beyond its elastic limits, leading to the formation of stretch marks.
Weight Fluctuations
+
Rapid weight gain or loss can cause the skin to stretch or contract abruptly, resulting in the development of stretch marks.
Hormonal Changes
+
Changes in hormone levels, such as during puberty, pregnancy, or hormonal therapy, can influence the skin's elasticity and contribute to the formation of stretch marks.
Genetic Predisposition
+
Some individuals may be more prone to developing stretch marks due to genetic factors and hereditary traits.
