Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to health care magic,
Thanks for posting your query to the forum.
This seems to be stretch marks from the picture.
These are medically known as "stria" or "Linea albicans".
Our skin contains dermis and epidermis and from which the deep skin ( dermis ) is actually responsible for the resilience and tensile strength of the skin.
It is also due to the main component known as "collagen". So whenever there is damage to the collagen then the skin gets atrophied and it leads to the problem of stria or stretch marks.
It can be due to so many reasons but in your case it might be due to puberty as you are 21 years of age but you have not told your weight so that an exact correlation can be made and you can be guided accordingly.
This striae are completely harmless so there is no need to worry much and be rested.
However, you can follow below measures to reduce and prevent these striae marks.
1) you can reduce your weight (if obese) but there should not be a sudden reduction in weight.
2) vitamin C supplemenation is quite helpful in improving the strength of skin and collagen development.
3) Skin moisturization is also very important in reducing the streching of skin. So moisturize the complete skin immeadiately after bath when skin is wet.
4)You can apply a cream containing Extractum Cepae, 50 IU Heparin and 10 mg Allantoin.
Hope this detailed information will be helpful.
