Is there anything that can be done to prevent stretch marks?


These bright red marks that generally fade to silver over time may appear on your abdomen, breasts, hips or buttocks during pregnancy. They occur when the skin becomes overstretched. While you can reduce your chances of developing these marks by keeping your weight in control, there is no guarantee that this can be avoided. If you do develop stretch marks and they don't seem to fade, an appointment with a dermatologist may be a good idea. Usually laser treatment or special creams will be prescribed.
