There are three main layers of the skin. These three layers are the epidermis which is the outermost layer, the dermis which is the middle layer and lastly the subcutaneous tissues which are generally made of fats.

Stretch marks by definition is the tearing of the 2nd part of the skin, the dermis, this tearing is due to over stretching of the skin. This is clearly visible especially in pregnant woman. Obesity and sudden growth of the muscles are some of the other factors that might lead to presence of stretch marks.

The major affected area of stretch marks is the dermis or the middle layer of the skin. The dermis is composed of collaged fibers that bind the cells. They are the reason why the skin can stretch and shrink. In worst case scenario, tearing of the dermis can happen if there is prolonged overstretching of the skin common in pregnancy. This tearing will transmit signals to the brain to produce more collagen fibers to compensate the injured ones. These over production will later on turn to scars which can now be seen on the epidermis, known as stretch marks.
