Stretch marks are very common in men and women. They appear during phases of rapid growth, such as puberty, pregnancy and muscle gain. They are usually harmless and do not require treatment, although there are some underlying diseases that can lead to stretch marks.

Although stretch marks usually cannot be prevented or cured, they disappear over time. You should know that stretch marks are often an inevitable consequence of physical changes that occur during life. Almost everyone has at least a few stretch marks.
