Why do i have these marks?

Question

Answer 1

Everyone is different. You're probably have these marks because you went through a growth spurt. They will probably go away or at least fade out.

Answer 2

This is very very common i have them my sister has them and my brother has them as you grown faster  than your skin stretches.

This is why you get these marks on your body if u want to get rid of them try special oils from your chemist or try Cocoa butter i use it, it really helps =)

Good luck and don't worry and enjoy ur youth =)

Answer 3

Yes. You can help your skin by getting a product called,"bio-oil" at your local drug store and applying it nightly or after you shower. Everybody gets some stretchmarks during periods of rapid growth/change. Men even get them too, especially those who lift weights. The more you hydrate your skin by drinking plenty of water and applying lotion or the oil mentioned above, the more elasticity your skin will have. That's what causes stretch marks. It's your skin stretching during rapid growth and not having the elasticity needed to accommodate the growth so it develops little areas of weakness which you see as the marks on your thighs. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Likely.  My youngest brother is very tall and slender and has stretch marks all over his back because he grew so fast.
