In this skin condition, you see purple/red streaks on the skin in the first stage. You will find these stripes mainly on the abdomen, buttocks, inner thighs and hips. This often happens when the skin at the site of the stretch mark is stretched too much in a short period of time. Your subcutaneous connective tissue is then ”torn”. You often have to deal with this during pregnancy as well. As the years provide, the stripes become creamy/beige-like.

For many women (but certainly men), stretch marks are a familiar term. Often, stretch marks are considered very disturbing. Fortunately, there are many treatments to treat stretch marks these days.

Note! Many treatments may be covered by your health insurance. Check your policy or contact your insurance company to find out how much you can be reimbursed.
