Strange almost scar-like marks on inner thigh and hip region

jtb436 · Guest

I've had a couple strange almost scar-like marks on my skin that have persisted on my inner thigh and for a month or two now. The only two logical reasons I can think of are: 1) I've been playing hockey for the last 3 months. 2) I had a recent injury to my hip flexor and put heat and ice on the approximate area where the strange scar-like marks have occured. Would either of these things have caused these marks? Are there other possiblites?

hi, are these marks like red lines that are fading slowly? if so then they sound like stretch marks which most commonly occur on the inner thighs, hips, buttocks and stomach. they are usually as a result of gaining weight quite quickly. you cant actually get rid of them but by moisturising and trying to lose any weight you have gained they will fade off. hope this helps.
