Stretchmarks -- or striae -- are caused when your skin needs to stretch rapidly over your enlarging body during pregnancy and ends up getting over-stretched. Stretchmarks can also occur during adolescence or periods of rapid weight gain. The resulting scars are permanent and are most common on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and breasts.
Massaging creams, oils, or lotions into the skin will help it feel more supple. With time the lines fade to fine streaks closer to your own skin colour. What may look unacceptable to you at first will seem a whole lot better six months later! The appearance of stretch marks may also be exaggerated by under-use of your muscles and your recent unaccustomed weight gain. Starting an exercise programme and aiming for a sensible diet will help you feel better about the affected areas of your body.
In extreme cases, plastic surgery may be possible, but it's important to discuss this thoroughly with your family doctor first.
