What to expect if I have Striae  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
You health care provider will examine you and ask questions about your symptoms, including:
Is this the first time that you have developed striae? When did you first notice the stretchmarks? What medicines have you taken? Have you used a cortisone skin cream? What other symptoms do you have?
If the striae are not caused by normal physical changes, tests may be done. </s>
