It is not uncommon to hear or watch advertisements on the television that boast of effectively curing stretch marks. The word stretch mark is used to refer to appearance of dull colored scars or marks on the skin. The appearance of these marks is commonly attributed to the period of pregnancy or to gaining weight suddenly. There are also some less known but equally possibly reasons of appearance of stretch marks. These include the building of muscles during the period of puberty and even hormonal changes. It is not always necessary that stretch marks appear due to gain of weight.

Since the appearance of stretch marks is a common and widespread problem, there are a number of chemicals in the market, which can help in getting rid of these marks. Added to this, there are home remedies for stretch marks that are quite popular among people. One of these remedies is eating those foods, which are rich in vitamin K. Green vegetables, for example are easily available in the market and can be cooked at home. Besides this, vitamin E is also said to cure the marks. Hence the intake of these two vitamins in the diet can greatly reduce stretch marks.
