stretchmarks
Expansion lines remain
Stretchmarks are the streaky lines that appear on skin when it stretches rapidly—during pregnancy, growth spurts, or significant weight changes.
The skin's elastic fibers tear beneath the surface, leaving visible scars that typically start reddish or purple and fade to silvery white over time.
Also spelled as two words: stretch marks.
