Stretch marks don't all look alike. They vary depending on how
long you've had them, what caused them and where they are on your body,
as well as on the type of skin you have. Common variations include:
Indented streaks or lines in the skin
Multiple pink, red or purple streaks
Bright streaks that fade to a light pink, white or grayish color
Stretch marks are common on the abdomen, breasts, upper arms,
buttocks and thighs. Sometimes they can cover large areas of the body.
Stretch marks or striae (singular stria), as they are called in
dermatology, are a form of scarring on the skin with an off-color hue.
They are caused by tearing of the dermis, which over time may diminish,
but will not disappear completely.
Stretch marks are often the result of the rapid stretching of
the skin associated with rapid growth or rapid weight changes. Stretch
marks may also be influenced by hormonal changes associated with
puberty, pregnancy, bodybuilding, hormone replacement therapy, etc.

Medical terminology for these kinds of markings includes striae

atrophicae, linea albicante, or simply striae. Stretch marks formed
during pregnancy, usually during the last trimester, and usually on the
belly, but also commonly occurring on the breasts, thighs, hips, lower
