I was pricked in the stomach by a sweat needle. Why do stretch marks become more obvious?

The formation of stretch marks is mainly due to the influence of pregnancy hormones. In addition, the swelling of the abdomen damages or breaks the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the skin, and the abdominal skin becomes thinner and thinner, and some pink or purple wavy lines with different widths appear. After delivery, these patterns will gradually disappear, leaving white or silvery shiny scar lines, that is, stretch marks. Stretch marks mainly appear on the abdominal wall, and may also appear on the inner and outer thighs, buttocks, chest, back waist and arms.

Methods of reducing stretch marks

Weight control and balanced nutrition can reduce the severity of stretch marks, and the application of abdominal skin care products is also very important. Skin care products can be oily or pasty products specially designed for stretch marks (such as Qi) or olive oil. Abdominal skin care products should be applied daily and massaged moderately.
