stretch marks

They can be really ugly. They can also develop in unusual places in the body. Cellulite, which many know as stretch marks, can dampen an individual’s self esteem. Just whent you should flaunt those great legs in that little black dress, you feel against it, just because you have to spare many the stretch marks around your knee cap.

Consultant Dermatologist, Dr. Tunrayo Adekunle, says even though men also have cellulite, every woman would have cellulite at a point in her lifetime. According to the expert, at least 80 per cent of pregnant women will develop cellulite at a stage, naturally.

She says, “Growing that fast can leave you with stretch marks, especially on your belly and breasts, two areas that grow the most. The skin is stretching and hence the marks. Stretch marks can also show up on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. The marks often start out reddish but after pregnancy, they gradually fade to white or gray.

Adekunle explains that stretch marks are caused by tearing of the dermis (skin layer) which, over time, may diminish, but will not disappear completely. She notes that stretch marks are often the result of the rapid stretching of the skin associated with rapid growth or rapid weight changes.

So, if you lose weight too fast, you may have stretch marks; if you also gain weight rapidly, you may develop stretch marks.

The skin care expert also says that those who use bleaching creams that contain hydroquinone and mercury can break their skin and damage it, leading to the appearance of stretch marks.
