Stretch marks are a result of stress on the skin. When you gain weight too quickly as is often the case in pregnancy, puberty, water retention, traumatic life experiences, or when the skin is stretched too quickly for any reason, it can stress the skin before it has time to expand and adjust, causing small marks, scars, and tears in the skin. They are most common on the belly, thighs, breasts, and occasionally in the arms. Although found on both men and women, more women than men seem to sport these marks. While stretch marks can make you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable showing some skin, they are not a serious health concern. Some home remedies include oil massage (coconut oil is particularly good) and topical use of Vitamin E.

Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Stretch marks' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.
