What Causes Stretch Marks On Inner Arms And Shoulders While Suffering From PCOS?

For the past two months, I have been getting stretchmarks in the inner arm from my shoulders. It s almost reaching my wrists. I haven t gained alot of weight for drastic stretchmarks to occur. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and I don t know whether this is a symptom of the syndrome or whether this is a different problem altogether?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The presence of stretch marks is indicating that you have gained and reduced weight very rapidly. And this change in body weight is induced by hormonal changes from PCOS, but not related to PCOS. It's quite different. We do recommend to keep well hydrated by applying moisturizing lotion, and anti-stretching cream for at least a couple of months. Then, observe the changes to decide the best treatment forward.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
