White streaks on the skin

Is there anyone like me who has some white stripes on the skin of certain parts of the body? It doesn’t hurt or itch and does not affect daily normal life, but it makes it impossible to wear pretty skirts and affects the appearance. Sometimes you may worry that it may be a warning signal because there is a problem somewhere in the body. What’s more, some people have heard that the appearance of these white stripes is a precursor to cancer. This rumor is really creepy. So why do these white stripes appear on the body?

What are white streaks on the knees? This is a harmless skin disease. There are mostly two causes of white stripes on the knees. The first is caused by rapid growth of adolescents, and the second is caused by excessive obesity. These white stripes on the knees do not have any health effects on the human body, they just look a little unsightly.

The white stripes that appear on the knees are generally called "stretch marks", which refer to the cord-like skin atrophy caused by the rupture of skin elastic fibers due to obesity, pregnancy, edema and other reasons. It can occur at any age, but is more common in adolescence, young people who gain weight too quickly, and pregnant women. Early skin lesions are strip-shaped light red lines that are slightly raised. Old ones show white atrophy lines. No subjective symptoms. It occurs in different parts depending on the situation. During adolescence, it often occurs on the inner thigh, buttocks and lower back. Those caused by taking corticosteroids are seen in the armpits, groin and other wrinkles.

The white stripes on the knees are also called growth lines or expansion lines. They are caused by excessive adrenal secretion. The adrenal cortex of the human body can secrete a glucocorticoid, which can break down the elastic fiber protein in the skin into sugars, causing the elastic fibers to denature; at the same time, it can also inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts, thereby causing the elastic fibers of the skin to break. When the volume of bones, muscles and fat increases more than the rate of skin extension, the elastic fibers in the dermis will be broken to form lines.

Stretch marks are a very common skin disease among teenagers, which is caused by rapid growth. This disease generally has no major impact on health, so no special treatment is required. Many of them may not disappear for a long time, while some will gradually fade and disappear after puberty.

Growth lines cannot be completely removed, but they can be lightened. Drugs can be used to promote blood circulation and improve blood circulation. Massage can also help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Of course, it can also prevent the appearance of growth lines. Warm up thoroughly before doing strenuous exercise. Second, it is important to have healthy eating habits and control your weight. Avoid foods with strong flavors. Excessive intake of animal fat will cause fat accumulation in the lower body, rapid increase in the size of the buttocks, and the formation of stretch marks.
