Usually, stretch marks occur when the skin gets overstretched due to rapid weight and growth. However, in teenage boys and girls, stretch marks can appear at the time of puberty. They do not cause any kind of harm but seem ugly on the skin.

Read this post and know the causes and prevention options for stretch marks in teens.

What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks are nothing but a kind of scar. They appear when elastin and collagen fibers spread wide and tear because of stretching. This happens due to rapid body growth and hormonal changes during adolescence. When stretch marks first appear they are red in colour. Over time, they may change colour to purple, blue, black or white. Though they are not harmful in any sense, we can’t deny the fact that stretch marks look ugly and they can bring down your self-confidence.

How common are stretch marks?

Stretch marks are extremely common and don’t just appear in teenagers. They can happen anytime the skin is stretched in excess like during pregnancy or periods of weight gain and loss. Additionally, bodybuilders who experience rapid muscle growth may also develop stretch marks.

Where do stretch marks appear?

In teenagers, stretch marks usually appear around sensitive body areas such as thighs, chest, hips, legs, and abdomen. As per doctors, it can appear anywhere where the skin is stretched or generally stores fat. Due to extreme stretching, the marks occur in blue and red colours due to changes in connective tissues and collagen fibres within the skin.

Few Symptoms of Stretch Marks in Teenagers
