Stretch marks commonly appear due to weight fluctuations or rapid growth. They are initially reddish but may fade over time. While applying oils like olive oil can keep the skin moisturized, there is limited evidence suggesting it helps reduce stretch marks effectively.
Next Steps
For visible improvement, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatments.
Health Tips
Avoid scratching the affected area. Maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E to support skin health.
