Sudden stretch marks
Hello everyone,
When I got out of the shower today I noticed I had some large purple lines streaming away from my groin. They look like stretch marks but appeared suddenly. I went to the doctor and he said he didn't know and to consult a dermatologist. They do not hurt and are not itchy. I can provide a picture if need be.
I was worried this could be something more sinister like a circulation problem as I have been inactive (almost bedridden) due to an injury for the last few weeks. I have gained some weight as well.
Do you think this could simply be stretch marks?
