Why Stretch Marks are formed?
There is a misconception that stretch marks are mainly bane of ladies. But the fact is that even men face the problem of stretch marks. Most of the people don’t know the exact reason behind the formation of stretch marks. Stretch marks are resulted due to sudden weight fluctuations or growth and pregnancy. Due to these sudden changes the middle layer of the skin known as dermis breaks down. This break down of the skin dermis results in stretch marks. Other factors causing the formation of stretch marks are steroid medication or hormonal imbalance.
