What's the matter with stretch marks on men?
Some men will have lines similar to stretch marks, but due to the lack of knowledge about obesity, growth lines and stretch marks, they think they have stretch marks. In fact, men do not have stretch marks, because stretch marks are affected by hormonal changes during pregnancy, so only pregnant women will have stretch marks. Since it's not stretch marks, what are those stripes that grow on men?

The long line on a man's body may be a growth line, and both men and women may have growth lines, mainly because the elastic fibers of the skin are pulled off after a period of growth of human body and height. The grain of the growth line is relatively thick, mostly in the buttocks, lower back and thighs, showing pale yellow, pale yellow or white, unlike the stretch marks that are pink or purple.

In addition to the growth line, there may be obesity line, which is mainly caused by the sharp increase of people's weight in a short time, or the decrease of subcutaneous fat in a short time after losing weight. The lines of obesity lines are relatively thin, mostly appearing on the inner thighs and buttocks. They were reddish when they first appeared, and then gradually faded to white.

We can know that men have no stretch marks, so when men find that they have stripes similar to stretch marks, they can tell whether they are growing lines or obese.
