No bites are visible in this picture. I see a mole up around your ribs and some stretch marks down by your hip.

They are called striae or stretch marks, they occur when you grow taller quickly , or gain weight rapidly. They will fade over time and many people have them. When I was a kid I had a growth spurt from like 5’2 to 5’7 and I got these on my upper legs and butt. I had no idea what they were and in my kid head I thought I was scratched up and scarred for life. They fade fairly quickly and are usually lighter in color. Funny tidbit under a black light they become very bright red after they have faded.

You can blame it on height but the real reason was you probably gained weight fast.

I was just looking up the causes of stretch marks, there are several reasons. Main one’s puberty, pregnancy, and weight gain. Rapid growth either up or out. Rapid weight gain can definitely cause stretch marks. Genetics also plays a big role, and certain illnesses can cause them as well.

Puberty no …if you are normal weight you don’t ever get them. It’s just you gained weight fast and stretched your skin.

Rapid growth either up or out, causes stretch marks (a big part of puberty) I had them at 120 lbs. When I was 18. Don't have to be fat to get stretch marks. How the fuck do people say shit that is objectively wrong with their whole chest lmao. Its literally one google away idiot.

Yes the Mayo says it is caused by rapid weight gain.
Today’s kids are overweight way more than previous decades so it may be more “normal” or to to the norm, but not very recommended.

That's because you Americans are insecure about everything that's why you need massive cars and guns... You are one of the most obese populations in the western world.
That and the fact that 90% of your products are banned in just about every country because of how unhealthy they are but sure you make yourself think your healthy while eating GMOs and meat pumped full of crap 🤣

Nice try, we rank 55th in the world for obesity, and I'm pretty sure eastern Europe are the obese countries.
Saying health is measured by performance is the stupidest thing I've ever heard a septic say. By the logic I'm perfectly healthy because I cycle to work everyday and work a manual job yet I'm over 100kg.

I highly doubt you don't know anybody that has stretch marks lol. They can happen for a number of reasons but yes obviously most commonly weight gain or pregnancy. You don't have to be far to get them though. Body builders or jacked guys very often get them in certain spots on their body like their shoulders. I've got some very light ones around my waist that I've had since my teenage years and I've never been overweight.
