Streaking red/purple "depressions" on inner thighs.

[collegestudent00]

I have loosely streaking red/purple depressions and bumps on my inner thigh. When I say depressions I mean that the areas near some of the bumps are not raised but actually below the normal skin level.

I noticed the depressions/bumps a few days ago and didn't think anything of them, because I have chronic eczema and they are in an area where I usually itch--it's still *possible* that they are eczema, and the area around them does itch.

A little bit about myself: 19 yr old male, normal weight. Have not had unprotected "sex" so-to-speak for a few months, but did have had unprotected sexual activity about a month and a half ago (the bumps just appeared, though).

Should I be worried about this and schedule a dermatologist's appointment? Any ideas about what this could possibly be? Please help!

Thanks.

Thanks for your response, gracefromHHP. Any other opinions??

these sound more like stretch marks than anything dear.

if you are concerned, see your provider. this is not a std related concern.

they dont really look like stretch marks to me

also: the lines are rather faint but easily noticeable.
