Well, stretch marks are marks on the skin. They are caused by the skin stretching so much it doesn't have any more room so then it stretches the skin out thinner. Like on breasts. They can happen through puberty. You can't get rid of them unless they go away by themselves, but if they don't, they just leave whitish marks where you got the stretch marks. You can make them less visible with rose hip oil.

Stretch marks can also occur because of medical problems such as hormone imbalances. The medical problem can cause the skin to stretch. They can be treated by a dermatologist (a doctor that treats diseases and conditions of the skin such as due to stretch marks). They have special techniques that can help with stretch marks.

A reduction in collagen level in the skin affects the structure of the skin and may lead to occurrence of stretch marks. The pink color that shows in the initial stages points to rupturing of the small blood vessels in the outer layers of your skin.
