My stretch marks seem to be RIPPING OPEN. after 5 years. any answers???

Question

my son is 5 years old and i just started noticing that some of the stretch marks in my "groin" area have been ripping open. almost like the top layer tore and the under side of the skin is exposed. i'm healthy, i dont do much exercise, no lifting. i know it's not a rash of any sort, and there are no bumps or blemishes. the skin that shows through from the inside is very soft and it has bled a tiny bit. nothing serious. can anyone tell me what this might be?

Answer 1

Sounds like you might have severely dry skin in this area... go to your doctor to have them check it out.  You could have an infection of some sort too.  

Bag Balm is a great ointment if you really want to see if you can get this to work out on it's own.  It was made for cow utters, but you can buy it on your pharmacy shelves since it is well known and used in homes as a wonder treatment for many problems.

Answer 2

that's how stretch marks look like... i have some of those around my belly-button because of my pregnancy to my now 2 year old son. =) that's motherhood.

Answer 3

They probably always looked that way. How often do you examine your stretched skin?
