Why do I have stretch marks?

Check these out, too...

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.

Ok, I have two questions. The first one is: I have weird marks on one of my breasts. they are pinkish red, but other than that they look like stretch marks. I am not comfortable talking/showing this to my doctor, what are they? My second question is: My mom saw the marks one night and lately she has been asking to look at my breasts. It makes me really uncomfortable, and I just say no, no, no and just kinda laugh until she gives up. What should I do? Thank you!

Hey girl. It's from your boobs growing. It's normal. I know different people have different relationships with their mothers, but they have seen it all, so it's good to be open with them. You have to either show your mom or your doctor if you are really worried. Don't be emberrassed-they've seen it all!
