What are growth streaks? What are the dangers of growth streaks?

Growth streaks are irregular streaks that appear on the human body or tortoise shell. In the process of captivity, due to the rapid growth rate of tortoises, the shields of the outer armor begin to expand between the shields, and the pigments in the middle have not had time to form, and white or pale yellow and pale pink lines will appear.

After a period of time, as the pigment increases and keratin is formed, the growth lines (lines) will slowly disappear. But as the tortoise grows, it will still appear. The constant appearance of growth lines (lines) indicates that your turtle is growing, which is a manifestation of health.

Growth marks are not harmful except for affecting the appearance.

Growth marks tend to occur on the inner thighs, waist and abdomen, and appear as cord-like skin lines with alternating red and pale white watermelon patterns. It is easy to diagnose according to the onset of adolescence, the location of the disease, and the clinical manifestations. The disease generally does not have a major impact on health, so no special ** is required.

Due to endocrine changes, the adrenal gland has too many corticosteroids, which increases the breakdown of elastin, denatures collagen fibers and elastin fibers, and inhibits the function of fibroblasts. In addition, some people believe that specific infections (such as tuberculosis) or tumors can also cause atrophic marks, which is a toxic relationship. It is the atrophy change caused by the rupture and degeneration of dermal elastic fibers, ** overextension.

Caused by rupture of elastic fibers in the dermis. The causes of elastic fiber fracture are:

First, the rapid development of puberty, the production of elastic fibers is less than the development rate of the body, and the elastic fibers are torn off;

Second, excessive obesity, elastic fibers are torn off;

Third, some endocrine diseases, glucocorticoid oversecretion, elastic fiber breakdown and breakage (glucocorticoids can promote the breakdown of protein fibers);

Fourth, oral administration of certain glucocorticoids, elastic fibers break down;

Fifth, long-term external use of hormones, elastic fibers decompose and break;

Sixth, the breakage and decomposition of elastic fibers caused by various other factors.

Many people will have horizontal lines on the surface of the **, which affects the appearance. Especially in children after puberty, the thighs and knees, like the stretch marks of pregnant women, are actually called growth marks. So, what is the effect of these growing streaks on the **?

Follow me to find out.

Growth streaks are caused by sudden growth in height or obesity, resulting in the breakage of subcutaneous elastic fibers and the formation of lines, which are generally difficult to eliminate after formation. It can also be called striae swells, which is due to the excessive secretion of the adrenal glands, and the secretion of glucocorticoids breaks down fibrous proteins into sugars, denatures elastic fibers, inhibits the growth of fibroblasts, and leads to breakage. It should also be noted that some patients who take hormone drugs may also cause, or some people with endocrine disorders will also have obstruction, and people's physique is different, so it may not occur.

This is a very common disease, and people who appear are also troubled, generally produced in the inner thighs, buttocks and abdomen of the human body, and other positions, which are pale white stripes.

In fact, in addition to affecting the appearance, growth marks are not harmful and will not cause any impact on health. Lines are difficult to remove after formation and fade slowly over time. You can massage moderately after bathing every day, with essential oils or massage creams to massage, the force should not be too heavy, remember to stick to it for a long time to have an effect.

You can also eat more foods rich in collagen and vitamins, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc.
