What are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are blemishes on the stomach that are shaped like lines or stripes. They are caused when the skin has been stretched and is unable to get back to its original shape. This happens after pregnancy or after losing weight. Stretch marks are treated using topical medications, laser assisted procedures and surgical procedures. Sometimes stretch marks fade on their own over time.
