What Are Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are scars that appear on the skin after it underwent rapid expansion (stretch).

They are painless and can occur following rapid weight gain or weight loss. They are usually located on the hips, lower back, the thighs, the belly, and the breasts.

They first show as reddish or purple streaks and progressively become white as they diminish.
