Stretch Marks

A stretch mark which is also called the striae is a type of linear, curved, or horizontal scar that usually develops when the skin expands or shrinks quickly. The abrupt change will cause the rupture of elastin fibers and collagen in the skin. The fibers aid by supporting and maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. When this causes a breakdown, they result in stretch marks. 

If the person gains height, the stretch marks may appear horizontal. If the person gains weight, the stretch marks appear to be vertical which means its perpendicular to the direction of stretching. Stretch marks will commonly form on the shoulders, abdomen, calves, hips, and thighs.
