Rapid Growth

Another type of stretch marks are those developed during puberty. These come as a result of growth spurts and are common among young girls and guys in the area of the hips, thighs, buttocks, and breasts. These are usually not as severe and will lighten as the turn into striae alba.

Body building and obesity can also cause stretch marks similar to those gained during puberty. Body building stretch marks may occur in areas around large muscles, while obesity stretch marks can occur anywhere the skin is stretched to thin or too fast.
