Stretch marks are not life threatening, but they can significantly affect your self-esteem. Stretch marks usually appear around the abdomen, the hips and thighs and the upper arms. They are the natural result of growth spurts, pregnancy, and great weight loss or weight gain.

Stretch marks, also known as striae, appear because the skin is pushed beyond its elastic limit. The extreme push produces a tear that the body tries to repair by producing scar tissue to compensate for the excessive stretching. Initially stretch marks are reddish-purple but eventually turn a silvery-white color.

This scar tissue can be covered up with clothing, for the most part. However, most people that have stretch marks are condemned to spend hot summer months covered in clothing in hopes of keeping their stretch mark problems under wraps.
