What are the causes of stretch marks?
Stretch marks usually happen due to stretching of the skin and due to an increase in the cortisone levels in the body. Cortisone is a naturally produced hormone in the body by the adrenal gland. When the levels of this hormone increases in the body, then it makes the skin lose its elasticity.

Some common reasons for stretch marks include:
Many females experience stretch marks due to pregnancy as the skin stretches during pregnancy as it is making room for the new developing baby.
Stretch marks also appear when a person, whether its male or female, loses or gains weight rapidly.
Certain medications can also cause stretch marks by reducing the ability of the skin to stretch.
Certain diseases such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can also cause stretch marks by increasing the levels of cortisone in the body.
What are the symptoms of stretch marks?
When stretch marks start to develop, then that area of skin looks pink and thin. It may feel slight irritation or itching. Initially, these marks appear as raised streaks, wrinkly and can be pink, purple, red, brown in color. With time, these streaks eventually fade up and become silvery or white.
