		<description><![CDATA[Unsightly stretch marks, which are the scourge of virtually every pregnancy, can be treated in several ways, from otc stretch mark skincare treatments, diet and exercise to surgical stretch mark repair, like demabrasion, chemical peels and laser surgery. The red, purple and pink bands across the skin are exacerbated by dryness, a lack of vitamin A, C, and E in addition to zinc and protein deficiencies and not consuming enough fluids. Because insurance does not extend to cosmetic treatments to reduce stretch marks, it is important that women try to maintain a well-balanced diet, light exercise routine in addition to skin hydration during pregnancy. Unfortunately, stretch marks are a fact of life for ninety percent of all women who are pregnant, quite often revealing themselves by the end of the third trimester. Nevertheless, there are certain risk factors that may determine the severity of the scarring. In a mixed race study, 77.8% of those with darker skin colors and 45% of those with lighter skin colors experienced pregnancy stretch marks.

		<description><![CDATA[Pregnancy is generally accompanied by stretch marks. While they can be itchy, stretch marks aren&#8217;t painful. Frequently, stretch marks appear after the fourth month of pregnancy, when the skin on the baby bump starts to grow bigger and the skin over the tummy is stretched even tighter. Stretch marks appear on fleshy body parts that tend to expand the most during pregnancy. These areas are the breasts, upper arms, lower abdomen, behind and thighs. Pregnant women, as well as those planning to become pregnant, need to have information on the connection between pregnancy and stretch marks and how to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. Your genes are the first factor. You&#8217;re apt to get pregnancy stretch marks if the women in your family have had them too.
