Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Swelling And Inflammation Of The Stretch Marks?
I have two stretch marks on each leg in my groin area. A week ago on my right side those stretch marks started becoming inflamed. Now one of those stretch marks has a kidney bean sized growth. Can I do anything to make this go away on my own or should I seek treatment?

Hello,
Stretch mark has weakened skin and is prone to infections or skin diseases. Let it be diagnosed by local doctor as he will observe lesion to make a diagnosis. Do not self-treat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
