| | | You can get stretch marks pretty much anywhere on the body. | You can get stretch marks pretty much anywhere on the body but the most common places are the thighs, bottom, hips, and arms and in
pregnancy the tummy and breasts.
In puberty you can also get them on your back as you grow taller so quickly.
The reason for this is because of the layers that make up skin. The lower layers contain proteins called collagen and elastin which give the skin its strength and stretchiness. It is possible to get stretch marks all over the body.
It is not just confined to women although it may seem more common; body builders are also prone to stretch marks.
