Stretch marks are a form of scarring on the skin with a silvery white hue. They result from overstretching of the skin, which disrupts the normal production of collagen, causing a scar. Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body. They are most likely to appear in places where fat is stored, or that have a tendency to stretch. There is no assured method of preventing stretch marks, although many believe that using oils or creams in high-risk areas may help prevent them by giving the skin more flexibility.

I got some of them when I joined the military, when my muscles started growing a little bit. Don't worry, it's nothing bad. Everyone has them.
