What IS IT!!!

Hello
Im a male 17 years old
at age ten these started to appear and grew with time
most would say they were stretch marks... they might but i never lifted weights or worked out or became fat at any time, i was always the same build
they are at my arms only
tell me what you think they are and what can make them go
(btw they are on both arms)

this is it



Need your help

Regards
Hashem

Did you have a growth spurt by chance? Chances are they appeared at the age of 10 due to a sudden growth at puberty.

The first thing that comes to mind is strechmarks, i used the have them after i stopped weightlifting, but some of my friends have them and they have always been the same probably a growth spurt like solid L said...

yeah i agree, they pretty much look like stretchmarks to me. you dont have to workout or get fat to get them, they can happen by rapid growth in certain places. i have some on my arms too. apparently bio-oil helps reduces appearences, but i dont think it does much. ask pregnant women. they're not really a big deal, practically everyone gets them. eventually they'll go light and silvery, and hardly visible. no worries

They're just stretch marks. Probably due to a little muscle development. It doesn't have to be any drastic growth to affect the skin like that.

Only way of getting rid of stretch marks is laser treatment. But in time they'll fade.

ypu can get stuff called bio oil which will fade them from pharmacies
make sure you moisturise to avoid getting anymore
in time they will fade anyway
so dont worry

yeah stretch marks. if this has happened without you working out then i recommend you DON'T workout - i can't imagine what that might do!
they'll fade but never fully.
