Striae (Latin for "stripes", "furrows") is a term used in medicine to describe various types of skin changes. In dermatology, striae can be caused by various factors such as genetic factors, hormonal changes, pregnancy and childbirth, and other factors such as obesity or lack of physical activity.

Striae may appear as fine lines, stripes, or grooves on the skin. They can be expressed in different ways, depending on the type and severity. Some striae species may have a red or blue tint, while others may be white or gray.

In some cases, striae can cause discomfort, especially if they are located on sensitive areas of the body such as the chest or abdomen. They can also cause aesthetic problems, especially in women who may be self-conscious about their appearance.

There are several ways to treat striae, including the use of creams, ointments and other medications, as well as surgery. However, the most effective treatment method is prevention, which consists of proper skin care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

It is important to remember that striae is not only a cosmetic defect, but also a sign of possible health problems. Therefore, if you notice striae, consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
