Are they common - depends on how much you grow basically, and how fast. I
suspect if you had a very gradual rate of growth that you skin could adapt,
but most of us want to get huuuge now and therefore push our bodies to grow
faster than our skin is fully willing to accomdate.

Are they permanent - yes. The first time my fiancee saw mine she exclaimed
"What happened to you!?!" and I had to explain lifting heavy things on a
regular basis over a period of years caused it, and that it wasn't going
away.

I also think it may have something (a degree) to do with genetics. My father
(who was never a lifter) has some stretch marks, though not as severe as
mine. I would guess that I have skin more prone to it than some others
might.

I hear rubbing down with Cocoa Butter helps.

try the local mothercare (or similar) they'll have something to prevent
it.

I have stretch marks on the inside of my thighs by my nutsack from my
stretching for karate over the years. They're there for the duration I'm
afraid.
