Your genes can play an important role in the development of stretch marks.  If your parents and other members of your family have stretch marks then it increases the likelihood that you will develop them too.  For the people that haven’t got any scars, if it seems inevitable you will get them because of family history then you can start taking measures to prevent stretch marks rather which is easier than trying to get rid of them.

2. Quick Changes in Body Weight

If you put too much stress on your skin too quickly, like muscle building or weight gain, then your skin can’t stretch as quickly as you are forcing it to.  Once your skin reaches it’s limit of elasticity that’s when stretch marks are formed.
