Stretch Marks, known in the medical community as erythrocyanosis are a form of scarring that can occur when a person's skin is overstretched.
The Two Main Stretch Mark Causes Are:
1) Pregnancy 2) Obesity
Appearance:
Stretch marks have the initial appearance of purple or red looking lines. In time Stretch Marks can fade to a white or off white color.
Stretch Marks are a VERY common condition. Just think of all the people who are either pregnant or overweight!
Stretch Marks are not just confined to the female population either - few people realize that they are a common complaint of male body builders.

that happens if you often lose weight or gain weight , specially when you gain weight because as you are getting fat your skin start to open too so that causes the stretch marks. perhaps if you're already a mother that's natural so don't worry .

When you gain weight during pregnancy or weight gain, your skin stretches, and when you lose that bulk, it can no longer retract back to its natural position, so instead, it droops. Its like an over-used elastic, it continues to stretch with every use and you can never get it back to its original condition or size.
That can be fixed with firming lotion or surgery, but lotion is obviously the less risky, more convenient and cheaper alternative.

Gain weight too fast.
Thus: STRETCH marks, not Snapback marks.

A wide variety of things cause stretch marks. The most common of these are pregnancy and weight.

Both from gaining too fast and losing quickly, because your body needs time to adjust to the changes.

Your skin is stretched beyond it's elasticity, usually from gaining weight or pregnancy and appear when the weight is lost.

Gaining weight too quickly. The skin doesn't have time to grow.

They are stretch marks woman. That means they come from the skin being stretched by putting on weight or anything that might stretch your skin.
