Dermatologist,  's  Response
you are suffering from striae distensae. Striae distensae affect skin that is subjected to continuous and progressive stretching; increased stress is placed on the connective tissue due to increased size of the various parts of the body.actors leading to the development of striae have not been fully elucidated. Striae distensae are a reflection of "breaks" in the connective tissue. Skin distension may lead to excessive mast cell degranulation with subsequent damage of collagen and elastin.Prolonged use of oral or topical corticosteroids or Cushing syndrome (increased adrenal cortical activity) leads to the development of striae.
dont worry, u are not suffering from breast canser.
