Striae distensae, commonly known as stretch marks, are a common dermatological concern that can lead to significant cosmetic and psychological distress. They typically develop in areas of the body subject to rapid stretching, including the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, breasts, back, axillae, and groin. These marks are classified according to their appearance or epidemiology as follows: Striae atrophicans (characterized by thinned skin). Striae gravidarum (following pregnancy). Striae rubrae (red in color). Striae albae (white in color). Striae nigra (black in color). Striae caerulea (dark blue in color). Although striae are benign and asymptomatic, they remain a common concern in both dermatology and aesthetic medicine. For clinicians, it is crucial to differentiate striae from other linear dermatoses (eg, linear morphea or anetoderma) and to be familiar with evidence-based prevention and treatment modalities, ranging from topical therapies and laser treatments to microneedling and emerging regenerative technologies.
膨胀纹，通常称为妊娠纹，是一种常见的皮肤问题，会导致严重的美容和心理困扰。它们通常出现在身体容易快速拉伸的部位，包括腹部、臀部、大腿、乳房、背部、腋窝和腹股沟。这些纹路根据其外观或流行病学分类如下：萎缩纹（特征为皮肤变薄）。妊娠纹（妊娠后出现）。红色纹（呈红色）。白色纹（呈白色）。黑色纹（呈黑色）。蓝色纹（呈深蓝色）。尽管膨胀纹是良性且无症状的，但它们仍然是皮肤科和美容医学中常见的关注点。对于临床医生来说，将膨胀纹与其他线性皮肤病（如线状硬皮病或皮肤松弛症）区分开来，并熟悉基于证据的预防和治疗方法至关重要，这些方法包括局部治疗、激光治疗、微针治疗以及新兴的再生技术。
