I posted a topic a while ago about red
lines/marks on my hips (which I thought
happened due to a girl digging her nails
into my hips during sexual intercourse but
its been a while now) but somebody
mentioned that it may be stretchmarks.
The reason I posted on this board was that
I noticed the same red marks are appearing
on my inside leg, very near to my private
parts. Its not a heat rash or anything
its like a faded out red/purple colour and
I don't think its stretchmarks either.
Has anyone had this and can anyone tell me
if it goes away it doesn't look healthy at
all when I have my top off or my skants
for that matter lol. It started around
september/october and has lasted til this
day. Thanks in advance

This does sound like stretchmarks. Have
you lost or put on any weight recently?
It is caused by (as the name suggests) the
skin stretching at a rate it is not able
to cope with.
There is nothing that really works to take
them away but they will gradually fade to
a silvery colour

I haven't gained mass amounts of weight, I
went from 12 stone to 13 stone and now I
think i'm losing weight so maybe that is
the cause? Can you tell me aprox how long
it takes to fade away? So the marks on my
legs aren't anything sexual related? I
never knew stretchmarks could appear on
your legs. Thanks very much for your info

Yes, it does sound like stretch marks.
They can appear pretty much anywhere.
They tend to seen the most often on the
butt, hips, breasts, stomach, or thighs,
however. They often do not fade away.
You can mention it to your doctor the next
time that you are in just in case, but it
does sound like harmless stretch marks so
far.
