Hello,
Claw like marks cannot appear on their own unless there is any trauma to the skin. These marks can be due to stretch marks. Stretch marks can appear when there is rapid stretching of the skin. It is common in rapid gaining or losing of weight, pregnancy, puberty, cushings syndrome and overuse of steroids. They appear red at first and then become glistening white.
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.
It is possible to just acrew stretches as you grow in life. It doesn't matter if your weight fluctuates or not. Although weight fluctuation is themost common reasons.
Well I'm 15 but I don't have a weight fluctuation, my weight is constant until I grow sometimes which I might weigh more but it's balanced because I grew taller...I'm not like constantly gaining weight or losing it...So I don't really see the reason why I would have stretch marks.
It sounds like stretch marks to me. This is caused by weight fluctuation in most people. I began getting them on my inner thighs and my buttocks when I was a teenager. If the skin is lacking elastisity, it can cause the skin to somewhat "tear" as it stretches from growth. It is nothing to worry about if it is stretchmarks. They do not go away, but will dimish or be less visible as time goes by. Vitamin E oil, or cocobutter can help with the itching.
