Stretch marks or striae, are slightly raised or depressed, discolored scars that develop on rapid, sudden stretching or shrinking of the skin due to rupture of collagen and elastin fibers. These narrow skin bands, in the early stage, may be red, pink, purple, or reddish/dark brown, as per one’s natural complexion, and may be itchy and bumpy. But, in the mature stage, they go underneath the skin, causing a white, slight depression or glossy, silvery streaks. Often, they develop on arms, abdomen, thighs, and breasts, and if they are widespread and highly noticeable, they could ruin one’s appearance.
Collagen and elastin are the skin's structural proteins that play a role in its firmness and elasticity. When skin stretches rapidly beyond its elasticity limit, the elastin fibers weaken or break, and so does collagen. Upon healing of the skin, stretch marks develop in areas with elastin loss.
