Actually, everybody can get skin infections like this even thin teens. Stretch marks appear practically anywhere the body that stores larger amounts of fat. The skin around the mark feels soft to the touch and the stretch mark itself feels like a dent in the skin. Those indentations can get more profoundand longer if the skin is stretched more. Even though these marks may become lighter with time, the dents and color change never go away.

How Do Stretch Marks Form

Stretching alone is not the cause of stretch marks, even though it is obviously the main reason. The problem is the skin support within the dermis, the resilient middle layer of the skin. When the skin is growing the elastin fibers and collagen give it firmity. Cortisol, a type of glucocorticoid hormone is vital for the organism as they keep up many important functions, but they are also responsible for stretch marks because they prevent the fibroblasts from forming elastin fibers and collagen.

So, stretch marks appear when the skin is lacking of collagen and elastin fibers and at the same time is stretched, the epidermis, the outer skin layer and the dermis are torn. A stretch mark is a kind of scar tissue, meaning the skin is irrevocably destroyed and can't be renewed again naturally. We should be glad this natural healing system exists, but unfortunately scar tissues do not fulfill the same functions as original, healthy skin. And scar removal is difficult and often involves surgery.

Moisturizing creams against stretch marks can be compared with cellulite creams; they do not help in every case. Some people, probably due to their hormonal condition, are just more apt to get stretch marks.
