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).
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.

They just look like stretch marks to me.
they will turn silvery and gradually fade

significance.
