How are stretch marks formed?
The skin of the human body consists of three layers:
*Epidermis(outer layer).

When the connective tissue is stretched due to the expansion and contraction of the skin,the stretch marks starts develpoping on the dermis or the outer layer of the skin,with the stretch in skin,the collagen gets weak,and the elastic fibers  starts to break down due to this,its normal production cycle gets damaged.
