Stretch marks can usually be found on different places on the body including the chest, hips, thighs, and rear. And stretch marks do not just happen with women. Men get them too. Bodybuilders often have stretch marks. Their bodies stretch rapidly because of the muscle being built. Stretch marks may not be the nicest thing to look at, but they cannot hurt you.
