Are Itchy Rashes On Skin Signs Of Stretch Marks?
Question: I have a this rash or streak of red lines that don't hurt. They kind of itch or anything like that. I was wondering if they were stretch marks or something else?
Brief Answer:
Stretch marks
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It's looking like stretch marks in initial stages.
I treat such cases with a mild topical steroid cream like fluticasone to be applied in night and a silicon based gel like contratubex to be applied in morning.
This combination is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
Do this for a month and let me know results.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
