It is a physiological skin change that many pregnant women experience during pregnancy. Striae gravidarum do not pose a health risk. However, they are often symptomatic, causing discomfort as well as psychological distress in pregnant women, when severe. KIKKISA is one type of skin aliment that occurs during late phase of second trimester. Almost all pregnant women ( 75-90%) of the world suffer from kikkisa(Striae gravidarum).
