Outwardly, such a rupture of fibers looks like a red scar, it is of a purple color. Over time, he begins to whiten. Figuratively, this process resembles the healing of a wound after a cut with a sharp object. But the white scar is already very difficult to remove, as is the scar after the cut. Therefore, it is important to prevent the appearance of such stretch marks during pregnancy in a timely manner.
