Question

A pregnant woman with extensive stria (linea albicantes) asks if the marks will disappear once the baby is born. The most appropriate response would be:

Answer 1

Answer:

about six to 12 months after childbirth.

Explanation:

The good news is that stretch marks usually become considerably less noticeable about six to 12 months after childbirth. The pigmentation fades and they generally become lighter than the surrounding skin (the color will vary depending on your skin color), but their texture will remain the same.
