Stretch marks are fine lines on the body that
occur from tissue under your skin tearing from over-stretching or
rapid growth and are a normal part of puberty for most
people. They are usually several centimeters long and several
centimeters long, generally associated with obesity, pregnancy, and
can develop during rapid muscle growth from bodybuilding.
We know that we all are liable to it and
indeed ninety percent of pregnant women, seventy percent of
adolescent females, and forty percent of the male population is
being laid low with it. What I am talking about are stretch
marks but even though most of us really are susceptible and already
are full of it, we still could not pinpoint what really are the
factors of them to appear on our bodies.
Save for, through the years, there have been
many theories and speculations as to why we have stretch marks that
even no matter how much we agitate our skin, it sounds like they
are unavoidable and are certain to happen. Here are the known
theories as to why they think we are being plagued by stretch
marks.
Known or Possible Causes
The only theory that somehow was said to be logical
especially when it comes to explaining the formation of
stretch marks in our bodies is that when we get our skin
stretched up to the point where the cells are already breaking
down, they develop because of the dramatic increase in the
mass of the tissue. The real stretch marks develop in
the middle layer of our skin, or which is known to be the
elastic layer, that is called the dermis.
It was said that the dermis is made up of
fibers that is commonly known as the collagen that allow your skin
to stretch and then shy away into shape and if this layer of skin
continues to stretch over a lasting, elasticity breaks down and the
skin tries to remedy the problem by increasing the volume of
collagen in the over stretched area. This would then create
the scars that we see on different parts of our bodies especially
on the underarms, abdominal area, hips, and others because they are
shown through the surface of the skin, which is called the
epidermis.
There were also some circumstances that lead
our parts of our bodies to stretch and have these so-called scars
to appear on the surface of the skin. One of which is
pregnancy, which we all know enables us to have a large abdomen
when we are carrying the baby but dramatically decrease its volume
after we deliver.
Another circumstance wherein we also could
have stretch marks is right after we lost some unwanted pounds
especially those that were dramatic. Therefore, if you are
wondering, you now know that this is why it is always best to not
just go on a diet once you are trying to lose some weight, but also
hit the gym to create muscles and tone your body. This would
somehow prevent you from having stretch marks.
