Rapid Growth or Weight Gain: Stretch marks often occur during growth spurts, pregnancy, or rapid weight gain, straining the skin and causing marks.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal shifts during puberty, pregnancy, or hormone therapy can make the skin more prone to stretching.
Genetics: Family history can influence the likelihood of getting stretch marks because skin structures like collagen and elastin are inherited.
Corticosteroid Use: Overusing corticosteroids, whether applied to the skin or taken orally, can weaken the skin and increase the risk of stretch marks.
Underlying Health Conditions: Certain health issues, such as Cushing’s syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, can affect skin elasticity, making stretch marks more likely.
