Fat your skin being streached due to weight gain or growth.
Areas of the skin that are stretched often found on the abdomen, breasts, buttocks and legs.
About half of pregnant women will develop these pink or reddish streaks on their breasts, hips, or abdomen sometime during pregnancy as elastic fibers stretch and rupture in their skin. While stretch marks can't be prevented, they will fade slowly after delivery.

Stretch marks can be from alot of things. They can be from a pregnancy. Or maybe you could have gained weight and then lost it. I think stretch marks are when your skin gets irritated from expanding and contracting.

Stretch marks are caused when your skin is stretched due to weight gain, the skin stretches, and leaves various colors of pigmentation.

Having a baby or obesity... if you are not obese or have not had any kids, then ask a doctor. Im sure there is another reason that we don't know about for having stretch marks!

Your skin stretches and then shrinks. Stretch marks are the spots where the skin is worn out and can't shrink back to normal.

It's a kind of scarring; the collagen in the skin reforms in a lumpy sort of way when the skin stretches. It is not reversible.

I've heard stretch marks are usually from being pregnant or extreme weightloss.

Gaining weight or growing. Your skin has to stretch to fit you.
Mederma gets rid of them.
