Stretch Mark Question

Stretch marks are scars, unfortunately. Mine look like a bear clawed my inner thigh.

 

It's just a form of scar caused by too much growth in a sudden period of time. I had some on my shoulders when I was hitting puberty. I grew 8 Inches in a year.

It lies in the middle layer of the skin (dermis I think?). It'll return to normal form after time, especially when you return to your original size, or continue to grow a bit. My shoulders continued to grow, and know they are unnoticable to me.

Not like I look at my shoulders much, but that's the point. It's a flexible layer of skin that will regain it's original shape after a period of time.

 

I've never had 'em. I feel deprived.

 

Take some roids and start doing a bunch of rowing exercises. Your chest will look like a roll of dough.

(my old roomate was taking heavy doses of roids and never exercising) He was just pissed off a lot. He never wore a shirt when he was just chilling out when I first met him, then when that caught up with him, He would wear a shirt when getting out of the shower.

Wearing a shirt right out of the shower is crazy. It's just going to get all condensated and you'll feel like you've just ran a marathon.

I'm probably just rambling...

 

at least stretch marks are common

i have a huge mark on my right leg which is permanent, i got it about a month ago when i had an accident on a boat and the blood left a stain or something

 

It's probably just brusing on the tissue. That's not permanent.

Do you have a camera?

I was trained as a paramedic, I'm not just trying to see your legs.

 

Cool if not, but it's probably just internal bruising. Take some anti inflamatory drugs (ibuprofen), rest, use ice, compress and elevate.

 

i used hirudoid cream on it for weeks. still there.

my dads a doctor, he told me it is permanent

the bruising is gone now. altho there is a hard lump (i assume blood) in my leg and it still hurts a bit, plus theres the dark mark!!! i can email u the pic of it when it happened if u wanna see how nasty it was

 

It's blood that's coagulated within damaged tissue. Not to say I know more about medecine then your father, but I guarentee it will receed, although depending on how bad it is, It could take many more months.

I think they call deep bruising echymosis or something? I've had it on my ribs. Took about 4 months to really begin to receed.

Sure send me the pic. You can send it to me through PM or email at.

Er uh... medicine. I certainly thought I'd be able to spell that one. :H

 

Well, I feel much better knowing how common they are.

 

Hell , I think they are sexy , its like the mark of a well versed lady whos been somewhere and knows something other than her own vanity.....

 

dude lol sexy? wow. I saw some chicks with some really bad stretch marks, you like that stuff?

 

That's exactly how mine were. An angry red and really deep into the skin, like major dents. They looked awful when I had them, but now you can barely even tell!

 

Oh and don't feel bad Lucky, I got stretch marks before I even had children too. All my up and down weight issues with eating disorders since the time I was 9. I've always been one quick to lose and quick to gain, hence, the stretch marks started appearing early. But they were like what you describe yours as, and those ones, you definitely can't tell I had.

So don't worry...it's no big deal. I'm sure you'll look beautiful no matter what.
