Although mostly associated with women, stretch marks can affect men as well. No matter what the cause, ways are available to both prevent and treat them.
Causes of Stretch Marks in MenStretch marks in men are caused by any rapid increase in bulk, causing the skin to stretch instead of being able to grow slowly to accommodate the larger amount of mass. The causes can include rapid weight gain and rapid increase in muscle mass due to steroid use. Teenage boys can also experience stretch marks while going through growth spurts.
Prevention of Stretch MarksThe best way to take care of stretch marks is to prevent them from ever forming. By eating a sensible diet, a man can avoid the rapid weight gain which often results in stretch marks. If going through a growth spurt, a teenager can use lotions containing cocoa butter to help increase the elasticity of the skin.
Treatments for Stretch MarksOnce stretch marks have formed, there are several treatments available from trained professionals such as dermatologists. Prescription creams containing Tretinoin are often given to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. For more severe cases, dermabrasion and laser treatments are often indicated.
Stretch marks can have a negative impact on the self esteem of both men and women alike. If an individual is unable to prevent them, there are fortunately methods available which can remove or reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
