Stretch marks, also known as Striae or Striae distensae, are a form of scarring on the skin with an off-color hue. Stretch marks may also be influenced by the hormonal changes associated with puberty, pregnancy, bodybuilding, or hormone replacement therapy. There is no evidence that creams used during pregnancy prevent stretch marks.
