Q: Deep red marks on body
asked by: yippy on July 1st, 2009

Hi,

I have these deep pink/red marks on my lower body. they run horizontaly and vertically on my hips, upper and lower, inner and outter thigh and inner calve area on both legs. They can be itchy or sore and they feel indented when I move my fingers over them. They developed after being on low and high dose steroids for six months and after I was in the hospital for asthma. Can someone help me?


Thanks,

yippy

They sound like stretch marks. They will fade in time. There are many skin care products that claim to get rid of stretch marks but I don't know of any that have been proven to work.
