Strange Skin Condition On Inner Thighs
Posted: 04-30-07 11:43am

Hello, I'm Serega, I'm a 20 year old male engineering student from Romania and I have a question.

I've recently noticed this, on the inner side of my thighs, symmetrically, just below the joint where my legs start. The areas are no bigger than your palm (without the fingers).

don't worry, it's not disgusting, I promise Smile

I've been overweight since my life began, but I can not be considered "chubby". I believe this is the result of a lack of exercise and sitting down a lot (which you do when you're in college).

After looking up thrombophlebitis and other stuff like that, I can't really decide in what category this goes, since the pictures I've seen don't look like that.

However, those little stripes are about a half a milimeter below the level of the skin, so I assume it's some sort of artery/vein problem ? My legs are not swollen in any region and I don't have a record of any such illnesses.

The worst "disease" I've ever suffered from was a cavity about 7 years ago, other than that, just the common cold.

I hope that with a regimen of more exercise I can get rid of it. I've started exercising two days ago, more thigh-oriented stuff and I plan to do it for at least 30 minutes every day.

Please reply if you know what this is or have some idea.
