I don't have any kids either and I have them all over my back and I'm not fat at all. I got them when I lost 45 pounds really fast but I use Strivectin and it works really well. I would not let it bother you, lots of people have them so I would not feel ashamed.

If you recently gained alot of weight OR lost alot of weight in a short amount of time or at least a year you will get stretch marks. I know they have stretch mark creams out there, but I'm not sure of the names.

Stretchmarks are caused by the skin being stretched faster than it can regenerate itself properly, so if you gained weight quickly, or grew quickly, you can get stretchmarks. My husband has them on his hips from when he grew from a runty 14 year old to 6'1". There are creams you can get that help make them fade.

Have you been overweight at any point? I have, and I have them on my breasts and hips and thighs mainly.
Nothing to be ashamed of. They ar ejust a sign your body has changed shape/size at some point. I believe there are ways to reduce their appearance...do a search online and see what you find.

Anytime you stretch the skin. See your skin doesn't know when it gets stretch wether it is a baby or just plain fat.
And then it reacts accordingly. Cut back on the calories. and it will stop stretching.

Rapid weight gain or loss causes them, not being pregnant. I had them on my breasts as a teen but they faded and are barely noticable.

well, some people who have stretch marks even when they don't have kids, is probably because....if you were to be over weight then lost weight, you get stretch marks.
