wtf is it?

**romanaz** · 09-17-2006, 07:59 PM

Ok, don't know where to post this, so maybe here?

Last night I was posing in the mirror and I noticed something really really wierd on my right side, near the front of my right lat. It looks kinda like a stretchmark, but doesn't feel like one, its like a reddish-brown color with a few really faint ones near it as well. Probally 12-14 inches long and only on that side. Its smooth like skin, and doesn't hurt, itch, burn, feel wierd at all. It looks kinda like a rash or some sorts.

picture attached

anyone know what it is?

Vegeto · 09-17-2006, 08:28 PM

Tapeworm? ...No, honestly, I think it is some kind of stretchmark. What else could it be?

**romanaz** · 09-17-2006, 08:36 PM

Well, its not like my other stretchmarks... they came in purple, and are a different textrue then this thing. This feels just like skin, just different color. I'm confuddled. And if so, why only on that side?

**Jayhawkk** · 09-17-2006, 08:38 PM

Possibly a bruise of sorts from slidding on a piece of euipment. I've got that before when sliding on the preacher bench

AYung · 09-17-2006, 11:00 PM

I can't think of it being anything other than a stretch mark.

**Jayhawkk** · 09-18-2006, 12:33 AM

I have a buttload of stretch marks and not one of the hundreds I have started out looking like that. Nor did they just appear.

**romanaz** · 09-18-2006, 01:56 AM

yeah, this is wierd, it got a bit fainter but not much. idk maybe im just seeing that. give it a week

AYung · 09-18-2006, 03:53 AM

Yeah man just give it time, but if it doesn't go away in a couple weeks and your concerned, by all means check with a doctor.

**Succio** · 09-18-2006, 04:23 AM

its not a stretch mark.

**romanaz** · 09-18-2006, 04:58 AM

yeah, I'm pretty sure about that now, but still trying to figure out what in tarnation it is. its buggin me to hell and back ! arg

**builtbeast** · 09-18-2006, 07:15 AM

I doubt it's a stretch mark. I have quite a few and they don't look like that.

**DarkFalcon** · 09-18-2006, 09:03 AM

My vote goes stretch mark, I'm never wrong..usually..OK there was that one time..

navarone · 09-18-2006, 01:52 PM

it looks like some kind of scratch, i dont think i have ever seen a stretch mark like that.Im gunna go with a scratch from a machine

miezimau · 09-18-2006, 02:00 PM

Yeah what Navarone said, to me it looks like you got caught on something and scratched yourself. Don't look like a stretchmark at all (coming from a women with plenty stretchmarks on her bod

)

**DJSTARER** · 09-18-2006, 04:31 PM

i get large bruises on my back that kind look like that, but it's from benching and i get them on both sides... so i have no clue.

yazf909 · 09-18-2006, 07:12 PM
