If you gain a lot of weight rapidly, or become pregnant, you may experience stretch marks, which are thin lines of stretched skin. We have very flexible skin on the whole. We can experience disrupted production of collagen during fast weight gain, however; this will inhibit the body's ability to keep our skin smooth using the collagen protein. You'll see a bunch of rough, red lines on your skin that turn white before long, and eventually fade. People of both genders have stretch marks, but women, especially pregnant women, get them the most often.

If you gain a lot of weight rapidly, or become pregnant, you may experience stretch marks, which are thin lines of stretched skin. We have very flexible skin on the whole. We can experience disrupted production of collagen during fast weight gain, however; this will inhibit the body's ability to keep our skin smooth using the collagen protein. You'll see a bunch of rough, red lines on your skin that turn white before long, and eventually fade. People of both genders have stretch marks, but women, especially pregnant women, get them the most often.

People suffering from obesity or gaining a lot of muscle weight can also get stretch marks, due to the fact that their weight is gaining so rapidly, so more people get it than pregnant women. Stretch marks can also have their origins in your genetic makeup. The moisture level of your skin, which is important when it comes to stretch marks, is determined by your heredity. People with drier skin will get stretch marks much more easily and with much less weight gained than those with moist skin. If you take steroids topically, you can also get stretch marks, often in the affected area.

While our stretch marks will eventually fade to white, you can't completely get rid of them. If you want to try anyway, you can get your stretch marks removed through some topical creams or major surgeries that are attempted in order to get rid of unwanted stretch marks - there are avenues you can try. However, it will cost you a lot of money to do these things, as well as pose a danger in the case of the surgery, so you should probably try to keep stretch marks from happening at all.

Drinking plenty of water every day is one way to ensure that your skin will remain as elastic as possible, thereby decreasing your risk of getting stretch marks. Equally important to drinking enough water is limiting caffeine, which is commonly found in coffee, soda, and energy drinks. Not only does caffeine weaken the dermis, which gives skin its elasticity, but it also acts as a diuretic and rids of the body of necessary water. According to current research, eating a healthy diet and keeping hydrated is one of the best ways to minimize your chances of getting stretch marks.

Stretch Marks are a truly unfortunate condition. It is best that you make all attempts at avoiding them if possible. Try to be sure to maintain a healthy balanced diet and have a sufficient intake of water. There are certain times in your life where the chances of stretch marks are high and it is not feasible to avoid these because of circumstances, such as pregnancy. In these cases talk to a dermatologist (skin doctor) to determine what treatment is best for you if they do develop on your skin.
