| Lack of elastin in the skin, but your problem is definately putting weight on too fast although you might lack elastin too |

| You dont have to be a mother (or even female) or fat to have stretchmarks. Any time your weight changes rapidly or significantly it can happen. |

| You can get stretch marks from drastically losing weight, to slowly losing weight, gaining weight, weight lifting can give you stretch marks. It depends on your body...you can get stretch marks doing nothing! |

| The only way I know you can get stretch marks is growing and having kids. It might not be that you are getting fat. your body just might be growing. |

| Stretch marks are not a fat thing... My boyfriend his very slim approx 145lbs. stands almost 6feet tall... he has stretch marks. I seen athletes with stretch marks. Its all on how much stretching you skin can take.Where do the marks come from and why? It is thought that at least 90% of pregnant women, 70% of adolescent females, and 40% of adolescent males in the US develop stretch marks. Despite, striae (stretch marks) being quite common among the general population, the factors that lead its development are still poorly understood. There is no general consensus on what causes stretch marks to occur, but there are several theories. One theory is that they develop when the skin is stretched to the point of breaking down, due to a dramatic increase in the size of tissue. This stretching of the skin is similar to elastic losing its elasticity. The actual stretch marks develop in the middle, elastic layer of the skin, called the dermis. It is made up of fibers called collagen that allow your skin to stretch and then shrink back into shape. If this layer of skin is continuously stretched over a long period of time, the elasticity breaks down and the skin tries to remedy the problem by increasing the amount of collagen in the over stretched area. This is what then creates the scars in the dermis which show through to the epidermis (top layer of the skin). The stretching of the skin can come about from rapid weight gain over a short space of time, such as during pregnancy. Stretch marks can also be found on children who have become quickly obese or on adolescents who have had a growth spurt during puberty. Athletes and body builders can also develop stretch marks due to constant repetitive exercises. The most common areas affected by stretch marks are the hips, breasts, buttocks, thighs and abdomen. However, some believe that the term stretch mark is a misnomer and they are not caused by the stretching of the skin at all. It has been suggested that stretch marks are caused due to an increased level of a hormone called glucocorticoids, circulating through the bloodstream. This hormone is secreted by the adrenal glands and it is increased during pregnancy, adolescence, with obesity, Cushing’s disease and weight lifting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The stretch marks related hormone activity mostly happens during Pregnancy Natural growth for adolescent boys and girls Rapid weight gain/loss Depression or extreme unhappiness (unhappy, stressed and depressed people are more likely to get stretch marks) Long term lacking of certain nutrients Sudden change in physical or environmental conditions. Certain medication may cause stretch marks also, especially steroids related medications. See details here |
