muscle build, gaining fat.
It's basically anything that causes rapid growth and it causes your skin to stretch. It can be working out, or just general weightgain.

Growth.
Despite what beauty companies might have you believe, stretch marks are common, don't worry about them.

This. And if they are from unhealthy weight gain (as in fat gain) you cain lose the marks by losing weight. That's what happened to mine on my used to be giant gut.

:celebration: Let's name the baby.

But, yeah, it's growth, like what everyone on this thread said.

I have stretch marks around my deltoids (Quick muscle gain.) and I have old ones on my gut. (Quick fat gain. :dance: )

They do fade after a while. Some of the bigger ones can scar permanently.

I used to think all the scars on Zangief were stretch marks from the bulging muscles.

I used to have really bad strech marks on my back. I looked like someone had being whipping me. You can barely see them now, so it's all good. :thumbsup:

I have some on my back. No idea how they got there. I never gained a lot or lost a lot of weight or muscle. They just appeared around when I was 15 or so. Total damn mystery.

I got a small stretch mark on my left arm, just below the armpit. Not sure how it got there

I've got something similar, it's probably the fact that I grew about a foot and a half in a year.

Well that or the S&M

No, Steven should be it. OP, you might wanna have a Doctor check your arm out, cos' you know, you have a fetus there...this joke is lame and old

Anyways, never heard of strech marks or let alone had any. I've been skinny as hell all my life.

I reccomend the epidural.

Cocoa butter works wonders to help fade stretch marks.

It's basically anything that causes rapid growth and it causes your skin to stretch. It can be working out, or just general weightgain.

Or puberty. :meh:

More-noticeable stretch marks are also a side-effect if you are on prednisone (medical reasons) for an extended period of time.

They stick around for a while too. I had to take it 3x a day for three weeks straight last march and they don't look like they'll go away any time soon.

Puberty, rapid weight gain, rapid muscle gain. Pretty much, your skin can grow fast enough to compensate for your new size.

Can get them from rapid weight loss as well, it's not just gaining weight. I wish mine disappeared when I lost weight. I lost 16 kg and they still didn't go away!...I probably got more doing that -_-
