Stretch marks often occur as a result of constant stretching of the dermal layer due to the pressure from inside. The pressure may be due to a variety of reasons like extra fat deposits inside the dermal layer or some times in the case of pregnancy the eternal layer begins to stretch due to the growth of the baby inside the uterus. These marks are basically formed from inside the skin only. That is, they are formed in the endodermis layer which is the layer beneath the outside dermal layer. Due to this formation, the stretch marks retain their specific shapes.

Depending on the skin color, the color of the stretch marks also varies. Not just the skin color but also the color of the stretch marks also varies depending on the location of the body part. For example, the stretch marks are seen as light white color on the arms and chest while they become dark colored from dark red to pink or even the shades of brown in the stomach area. What ever the color of the marks may be, a stretch marks cream helps to erase them or at least lighten them to the skin color.
