Striae (Stretch Marks): The irregular areas of skin that appear as bands, stripes, or lines. Striae are seen when a person grows or gains weight rapidly or has certain diseases or conditions, most notably Cushing’s disease or other causes of excess glucocorticoids (steroids). They most commonly are located on the breasts, hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen and flank. Learn more.
