red lines on my inner thighs and all over my but cheeks?
(I'm a female, 15)
(Not pregnant)
(Never been pregnant)
So I was looking it up online and apparently it has something to do with growing fast or gaining weight. Before I injured my knees, I would run about 4 times a week, I ate like an average person. I was like 5'4 and 118 lb. After 5 months, and my kneels are still healing, I have not ran or exercised at all. I've noticed the inner thigh marks for about a month to two months now (I see them everytime I use the bathroom) but today I turned around and looked at the bathroom mirror and there are A LOT of marks all over my butt cheeks, and the sides of my butt, lower butt, etc. I can even feel some of them. I showed my mom them (I was wearing an underwear) and she got scared and said she wanted to take me to the doctor, something about veins.
I am now 130 lbs. I gained 18 lbs over a period of 5 months because I haven't been working out.
Should I be concerned or do you think they are just stretch marks? These marks are in areas no one's really gonna see (I swim with shorts anyways, bikinis make me uncomfortable), so I don't care that much if they're just stretch marks, although I wouldn't mind treating them to make them show less.
Thank you in advance x

Don't worry, they are just stretch marks. I have them. It just means you gained weight a bit fast and your skin didn't have time to compensate. Its not bad. Most lotion brands or some makeup brands make special lotions to aid in removal. Normal lotion can help them fade a little bit if you don't want to buy new lotion just for them. I used just a normal lotion and now they aren't very noticeable and faded really well.
