I have stretch marks on my breasts. My mom says it's normal. Is it really, and what causes them?
 
Don’t worry—it IS normal. Stretch marks are generally caused by rapid weight gain or loss, so in your teen years when you’re growing, it’s not uncommon to have 'em.
 

What can ya do about it? Moisturize. Your skin will stretch easier as it grows if it’s hydrated. Check out our picks for good winter moisturizers or find one for extra-dry skin. Shea butter is always a good bet. Other than that, just wait it out--your bod's growth will slow down, and your stretch marks will go buh-bye.

Hey. I was wondering, what's the difference between stretch marks, spider veins and varicose veins? I was just wondering because I have a lot of marks on my inner thighs, some on my outer thighs, and a few marks on my breasts. So i was wondering which ones I had and what it's all about. Thx!




Hey babe,

I don't know much about them, but I do know that stretch marks are surface marks. They're usually either red or flesh-colored (but they stand out from the rest of your body...they're sorta a different shade). Veins are deeper and usually take on a bluish color. Based on where you're talking about, it sounds like they're probably stretch marks but could absolutely be veins too. If you have questions about your bod, the best thing to do is ask a doctor at your next checkup. They can answer all your questions...they're professionals, after all! Smile
