In old age, the elastic fibers of the skin undergo senile generation for which the elasticity of the skin is lost, and with the wasting of the muscles, the skin cannot adapt itself to the reducing girth, and as a result, the skin becomes wrinkled, a feature of the old man’s skin. When the skin is over stretched due to pressure of the tumor, or in case of females, due to the pressure caused by the foetus during pregnancy, the connective tissue corium ruptures internally and later on becomes healed up by the formation of scar tissue which shows through the epidermis as white linear patches. These white lines on the abdomen in case of females which results after pregnancy are known as striae gravidarum.
