strechmarks are caused by "rappid growth" its not just pregnancy.

Its not only from giving birth what would stretch marks on someones thighs have to do with pregnancy ... They are caused when your body grows to fast for your skin to keep up w/ it

I have them too I am a 23 year old men from gaining weight in puberty. Stretch marks are just a result of skin being tight and body gaining mass quicker then the skin can expand. Then the skin rips.

It's called gaining or losing weight.

Its not a condition. My niece has them from growing too fast and she's 15

weigh gain followed by a weigh loss

Maybe she was fat before then got slimmer, or she's getting fuller. When the skin is stretched to more than it can, that is when stretch marks appear.

My gf of 110lbs has them. I have them. Most people have them.

what breenie said is correct, not just birth related but growth related also. applying lotion and drinking water should keep the stretch marrks to a minimal
