When a person grows or gains weight really quickly (like during puberty), that person may get fine lines on the body called stretch marks. Stretch marks happen when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. Although the skin is usually fairly elastic, when it's overstretched, the normal production of collagen (the major protein that makes up the connective tissue in your skin) is disrupted. As a result, scars called stretch marks may form.

If you're noticing stretch marks on your body, you're not alone. Most girls and women have stretch marks, which tend to show up on the breasts, thighs, hips, and butt. Many women get them during pregnancy. And while they're more common in girls, guys can get stretch marks, too.

People who are obese often have stretch marks. Bodybuilders are prone to getting stretch marks because of the rapid body changes that bodybuilding can produce. Stretch marks also may occur if a person uses steroid-containing skin creams or ointments (such as hydrocortisone) for more than a few weeks, or has to take high doses of oral corticosteroids for months or longer.


Stretch Marks and Body Stress

Some recent research has tried to link stretch mark formation to a group of steroids called glucocorticoids. The most common glucocorticoid is cortisol. Research has proven that with elevated levels of cortisol in your body, your body tends to gain weight. This is because when your body senses that it is under stress, it releases more cortisol. Things that can cause your body to stress include not only your normal every day work and life stresses, but also pregnancy, adolescent growth spurts, and weightlifting. Improper nutrition, excessive caffeine intake and smoking are additional causes of body stress.

When your body senses added stresses, it goes into a "survival mode" in order to deal with the stress. While in survival mode, your body tends to store fat more easily and a great deal faster than normal. This can lead to an extreme amount of weight gain in a short amount of time thus resulting in a stretching of your middle layer of skin causing stretch marks.

People that are most susceptible to stretch marks are pregnant women, weight lifters, and adolescents. Pregnant women get stretch marks most often during the late stages of their pregnancy when the baby is growing quickly. Over 75% of pregnant women get stretch marks on their abdomens. Other common places where stretch marks occur are the breasts, thighs and buttocks.

Weightlifters, especially men, are prone to stretch marks appearing on their upper arms and shoulder areas when large amount of muscle are built up quickly. Adolescents sometimes see the formation of stretch marks because of the tremendous amount of growth they experience during that period of time in their life. Most often, the stretch marks that appear during the adolescent years fade over time and either disappear completely or are much less noticeable than stretch marks formed later in life.
