What should be done if a child has stretch marks?

Patient's question:

A child has stretch marks on both sides of their thighs for over a year. What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
Hello, stretch marks (striae) are formed when the volume of bones, muscles, or fat increases too rapidly, exceeding the skin's ability to stretch. This causes the elastic fibers in the dermis to tear, resulting in these marks.
Recommendations:
Regularly perform massages and maintain cold water bathing to enhance skin elasticity. At the same time, pay attention to nutrition and consume more protein-rich foods to further improve skin elasticity.
