Stretch marks are…: Often associated with pregnancy or obesity, neither of which is your problem. They occur due to the rapid growth of the abdomen. Body builders also experience them when their muscles grow rapidly. A medical condition, cushing's disease, may have stretch marks, but it is also associated with unusual weight gain. If you exercise often, the rapid increase in muscle size can bring stretch marks.
