I'm losing weight recently, and then I have white stripes on my legs. What happened?
The white stripes on the legs are actually growth lines, also called swelling stripes. Because the adrenal gland secretes too much, the adrenal cortex of the human body can secrete a glucocorticoid, which can decompose elastin in the skin into sugars and denature elastic fibers. At the same time, it can also inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts and lead to the rupture of skin elastic fibers. When the volume of bone, muscle and fat grows faster than that of skin, the elastic fibers of dermis will be pulled off and lines will be formed.

1. People who are prone to growth lines: Not everyone will have them, which is related to physical fitness and growth speed. Besides, if you are losing weight quickly. The body has no time to react, and it is also very easy to cause this white stripe. Adolescent men and women, obese teenagers are prone to produce growth lines, but because the formation of growth lines is also related to physical fitness, some adults will also produce them.

2. Favorable parts: There will be several irregular stripes on the buttocks, back waist and thighs.

Generally speaking, the growth lines formed are difficult to eliminate. It is recommended to eat more foods rich in collagen, massage the skin moderately with anti-wrinkle cream, or use products such as firming cream to help improve.
