does anyone knows what causes stretch marks?
Ways to prevent it?
ways to stop it from continuing?
Does every race has it?

just that - your skin is stretching for what ever reason, pregnancy or just way over weight! There is no prevention, but keeping your self moisturized w/ a good lotion helps to minimize them. Once they are there, they are there (unless you have plastic surgery), and yes, we all get them under above mentioned circumstances.

Stretch Marks
They first appear as reddish or purple lines, but tend to gradually fade to a lighter color.
Causes:
1- Losing collagen and elastin in the skin.
2- Excessive stretching in the skin due to rapid weight gain but once the body returns to the original unstretched size (after childbirth or weight loss, for example) stretch marks often become much less noticeable.
3- Can occur to athletes and body builders due to repetitive exercises.
Place of appearance:
At any place in the body but especially in the highle fat stored ones.
Prevention:
no assured method of preventing stretch marks.

over stretching of the skin....hence, being pregnant or putting on weight at a drastic rate....(weight lifters...you see them on their arms & chest)
Use coco butter on your skin nightly...
Once you get them...there is no way to rid of them...just use the coco butter to lighten them up....
yes every race has them,...stretch marks arent prejudice!
