Different Types of Stretch Marks
Pregnancy
The most thought of and talked about type of stretch mark is the striae
gravidarum or stretch marks during pregnancy. This is caused by the skin
stretching during pregnancy and happens to most pregnant women. It
commonly affects the abdomen, buttocks, and breasts.
Though some products claim to prevent stretch marks, lotions and creams
can only reduce the itching associated with these nuisances. However,
good nutrition which promotes elasticity of the skin can reduce the
severity or prevent them. Yet, it is hereditary that plays a large role
in whether you will develop stretch marks or not.
