stretchmarks

[Maxismax123]

i have stretchmarks on the outsides of my thighs.

what does this mean?

[Rutherford The Brave]

It just means that the muscles inside your legs are growing too fast for your skin to strech thus you get strech marks.

[Oblivion]

Yeah, it means the muscle or fat in your leg is growing to fast for your skin to grow slowly, so it grows fast [stretches] and causes bleeding under the skin [I think?]

It causes a bit of bleeding. But the main thing is that it causes scarring. Don't worry though! They *Should* fade in time.

Essentially, your skin rips, creating a stretch mark.

I have never heard of this bleeding and I have them and i have never bled...
Whatever umm yeah they are created by your skin stretching until the point where it kinda tears but not in a painful way. You can apply lotion or cocoa butter lotion to reduce the skin from new scars being created.

[Master Bait]

Stretch marks are when muscle or fat are growing faster than the skin can. So, essentially, the skin cant hold the mass. So it strecthes.

i can assure you that it's the muscle, not the fat. Im fit :D
