Stretch Marks On 16 Year Old Male **please Read** Posted: 12-09-06 06:50am
Hi there,
i am 16 years old and I have always been
considered to be quite bodily matured for
my age.
I am around 6 foot and I am within the
healthy range of the bmi.
I have stretch marks on the back, running
horizontally across my spine, on the
inside of my thighs, on my buttocks and on
the back of my arms - all of these stretch
marks are either purple or red.
Is it normal for me to have all of these
stretch marks? It's a little
embarrassing and I cannot take my shirt of
in public anymore.
By the way, my blood pressure which I just
tested with a electric self test kit is
134/72 or my second attempt was 128/72
thanks

I have a friend who is really tall, a
basketball player, and his mother is a
doctor.. We had a discussion about it and
she said its nothing to be worried about
its normal, im pretty sure your skin will
adapt, its nothing to be worried about.

what does your blood pressure have to do
with the fact that your skin is stretching
at a rather quick rate which in return is
causing the stretch marks. They will
eventually turn silver and not as
noticeable.

genes.
Because iam 5'6 and only 100 lbs. I got
marks on my hips area and iam very thin
too.
