Suggest Treatment For Stretch Marks In Child
My grandaughter grew 6 inches in 1 year last year. We noticed about 6/9months ago she has these marks on the middle of her back that look like stretch marks. Is it poss. stretch marks or should I have this checked, because I read about marfans syndrome.

Hi...stretch marks are quite common during the periods of growth spurt. But the point is is the growth spurt occurring at the appropriate age and at appropriate velocity. It is common in adolescence. I suggest you get back to me or your pediatrician with birth weight and length and current weight and length and age. We can advice you based on that.
