Stretch marks look like lines or streaks across the skin. They can be pink, red, brown, black, silver or purple. They usually start off darker and fade over time. Stretch marks are most common on the tummy, chest, upper arms, legs, bottom, hips or back. They are often caused by sudden growth or weight gain.
You may be more likely to get them if you:
- are pregnant
- are going through puberty
- lose or gain weight quickly
- are female
- are overweight
- use some kinds of steroid creams or tablets
- have a family member with stretch marks
