What Causes Stretch Marks On Back?
2 of my teenage grandchildren have stretch marks on their back one kid is getting hunched over. He is diagnosed with scoliosis but his sisters bone scan was normal, docs are perplexed with what is going on and are sending her to a dermatologist. What is your opinion.????

Hi...stretch marks could be normal in active phases of growth. But with a history of scoliosis inthe sib, iI would prefer to evaluate. Probably this is the same reason for doctors sending the kid for a dermatologist. Do not worry if she's not having scoliosis. Get back with what dermatologist has opined.
