Q: Strange Markings On My Body.
asked by: ncjeff on February 7th, 2006

Hi,

a few months ago, not sure exactly how long, a couple of strange markings appeared on my body. They have since spread, and some are very large. Initially, they were around the inside of my thighs but they have spread to all around that area and to my stomach, they have even started to appear in one of my armpits.


They change often, sometimes fading to be almost invisible, sometimes bright red, sometimes a purplish colour, but none of them are getting any smaller and new ones keep appearing. They are not irritating in the slightest, were it not for the fact that I can see them I would not know they were there.

I really dont like them and they are really starting to worry me, I would really appreciate any help. I have taken a couple of pictures (not in any way explicit), the ones on my leg are much more faded than usual but the ones on my stomach are very clear.


Please help me find out what they are and what I can do about them!


If it's of any importance, I am an 18 year old caucasian male who doesnt smoke, drinks occassionally, has a decent diet but with too many snack items and doesnt get enough excersize.


Thanks-
jeffrey

It is hard to see the photos, but these kind of look like stretch marks. Have you gained a lot of weight recently?
