| What's New | | 07/13/2004 Pregnant women and stretch marks | | First of all, don't be blue about it if you have stretch marks somewhere on your breasts, buttocks, thighs and abdomen. If you have them, you aren't alone. It is estimated that 90% or more of pregnant Caucasian women will develop stretch marks. That's a big number. Women of color tend to fair better but still can be at risk for developing stretch marks. It is said that stretch marks formed during pregnancy can improve without intervention, but they may not fully go away. For many women that may be depressing to hear. One of my friends has tried a number of different ways to get rid of the stretch marks after giving birth to two boys. The good thing about her is that she's very positive about improving her body appearance. She has told me about all she is doing including the use of some apparently revolutionary anti-wrinkle and stretch mark creams. Like any other things, understanding the causes maybe the first step to work towards prevention and improvement of stretch marks. There are volumes of medical research which have been done exploring the causes of pregnant stretch marks. If you are interested in learning more about it, as a first step please go to DERMAdoctor.com which is one of the most recognized skin health resources on the Web today. Then you may find some tips or ways to make the appropriate treatment selection. Questions?
