What are they?

Stretch marks are grey and white scars that are a result of obesity, quick weight gain or loss, puberty, pregnancy etc. Whenever the skin is stretched or relaxed too quickly for the dermis (middle layer of skin) to keep up with the pace, the collagen structure is broken and scars occur. It is dependent on genetic reasons as well. Usually, arms, chest, lower back, waist, tummy and inner thighs are the areas that are affected. Unfortunately, they are untreatable by topical treatments and home remedies, and only cosmetic corrections have proven to be effective.
