1 INTRODUCTION A recent study defines striae gravidarum (SG) as a common skin condition during pregnancy.1 This is not a new concept. By performing a bibliographic search on the PubMed database, using the term “striae gravidarum,” 122 articles were identified. By adding the term “common” in the search filters, only 30 of the 122 articles remain (<25%). Although not explicitly defined as “common,” their presence is documented with very high prevalence rates.
