Seems to be stretch marks, upload pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcare magic

According to your history it seems you are having stretch marks but I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected area so that I can confirm the diagnosis and guide you accordingly.

Have you taken oral or applied topical steroids?

Have you gained or lost weight?

Do you have any disease?

Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
These are stretch marks

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph.
These are stretch marks most likely caused by myderm cream as it contains steroid.
In such cases I recommend my patients to go for laser treatment or fractional photothermolysis for improving them.
