Stretch marks can affect all of us. Many people
assume the cause of stretch marks is pregnancy, and so only pregnant women and
mothers are affected. This simply isn't true. Body builders often suffer from
stretch marks, and the majority of these body builders are men. People who gain
a great deal of weight are also susceptible to stretch marks. Teens are often
afflicted with stretch marks during the "growth spurts" of puberty. In short,
anytime skin is stretched quickly or dramatically, stretch marks are apt to
appear. Not only can stretch marks affect both men and women, but they can
affect children, teens, and adults. They affect people of every race and
ethnicity, as well.
