Stretch marks on the breasts – causes
Stretch marks appear most often on the abdomen, thighs, stretch marks on the breasts are also common. It is important to know the causes of the lesions appearing on the surface of the skin. Prevention in the case of stretch marks is effective, so it is worth knowing when stretch marks may appear. There may be several reasons for this, but the most common are:
- genetic predispositions
- rapid weight fluctuations, i.e. rapid weight loss or gain
- adolescence, during which there are not only hormone-induced changes, but also changes caused by rapid growth and changes in weight gain
- stretch marks on breasts and abdomen may appear during pregnancy. This is due to the high concentration of cortisol, which can block the activity of the cells that produce collagen fibers, i.e. fibroblasts. During pregnancy, the skin is significantly weakened, and its constant stretching causes breakage of the upper layers, which results in the formation of stretch marks. In order to avoid stretch marks, during pregnancy it is worth applying special creams for pregnant women, shea butter and oils to the skin of the breasts, abdomen and buttocks.
