Stretch Marks behind testicles?

Hi I am 20 years old, about 6ft and 165lbs. I noticed a little while ago that i have what looks like a scar behind my testicles  on  both sides where my inner thigh connects. They are on both sides and look like the skin was stretched or something and healed and the skin is thinner now. It also has a few line going down the back of my legs that are like 2in in length. (These look like stretch marks)  Anybody know what this could be?

Hello,
From what you have described, it sounds like stretch marks. Stretch marks can appear when there is rapid stretching of the skin. It is common in rapid gaining or losing of  weight, puberty,cushings syndrome and overuse of steroids. Laser therapy, and dermabrasion, alone or in combination have also been shown to be effective in diminishing the appearance of stretch marks.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
