Hello, thanks for your time. Can stretch marks on my waist result from child abuse by beating or spanking? I've had them since childhood but never loss nor gained weight excessively nor do I remember when did they appear. I do know however I have been physically abused. As an adult now I'm seeking for answers, I'm healthy and they are only about seven stretch marks on each, parallel and running diagonally about 45% to my body axis. Thanks a lot for any answer.
