It is important to know a few things about stretch marks and scar to help make right decision.
Stretch marks happen when the body grows quickly for any reason. It is due to different reasons ranging from pregnancyand bodybuilding and visible around different regions such as belly, breast, legs, thigh, arm, buttocks,etc. The skin can’t stretch enough to keep up. These long, thin, rippled marks are also called stria.
When this happens, the collagen in the skin — which helps keep its elasticity — can’t keep up with the stretching skin. Collagen is a protein that make the skin more elastic. If the skin doesn’t have enough, the marks may show up as it stretches.
It is important to know that prolonged use of corticosteroid creams and lotions can decrease levels of collagen in the skin.
Use creams and lotions that are very rich in collagen to help bring back the elasticity of the skin and thereby reducing the stretch mark and scars.
