Why do stretch marks occur during pregnancy?
Stretch marks occur when the skin stretches rapidly, causing the collagen and elastin fibers beneath the skin to break. This leads to the formation of scars, known as stretch marks, which commonly appear on areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, and buttocks during pregnancy. The rapid skin stretching, along with factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and weight gain, can contribute to the development of stretch marks.
