Walt,
stretch marks are caused by the lack of elastic capabilities of the skin. Moisture inside and out
(plenty of water and skin moisturizers)will help prevent this. Unfortunately studies did not reveal this until after my son was born in '87. Cocoa butter (concentraited)
has faded my stretch marks dramatically in one month. Use it regiously everynight on clean skin- Do not pay for laser treatment- won't work. Chemical peels are ok- but inexpensive Cocoa butter (CONCENTRAITED)will fade them.

Thanks, kymelle,
Remedies are always good to know.
MY interest is in WHY they happen. They, like many other "conditions of unknown etiology", are messages from the bodymind. Their importance is in what they mean and not in just learning how to make them go away.
One does not have to be pregnant to get stretch marks!
