White or brownish streaks on your skin. You can get them from growing, weight gain, or pregnancy.

A lot of girls/women get them. I got mine during puberty. It's when your skin doesn't have enough elasticity when it starts to stretch leading to basically unopened tears in the skin.

Stretch marks happen when your skin grows too fast for your body to reproduce cells to accommodate the growth- that's why most people get them during puberty or pregnancy, you can get them if you lose a lot of weight too fast etc

Also, think of them like a scar, you can't get rid of them you can only fade their appearance.
