[Concern] Lightning-shaped white stretch marks on my calves! 😱 I can't even wear shorts~

I don't even remember when I had these white stretch marks spread across my calves.

It's summer, but I can't even wear shorts or skirts~

It seems like it was there a little before, but I don't think it was this intense.

The surface is not smooth and is bumpy.

I was quite surprised by how bright the white line was.ㅠ

 

It looks just like a lightning bolt~

It's a bit awkward, isn't it? ㅠ

It looks a bit off to me.

It looks like a bug is passing by 😱

What should I do ~ It's the hot summer now .....

 

 

There was no pain at all, and since the stretch marks on my calf were not very visible, I couldn't even check if they were getting worse.

That's exactly what you look like when you wear shorts~

I can't even bring myself to show it anywhere.

It's probably very hot now, isn't it?

 

Stretch marks, once they appear, don't easily go away. If you don't treat them, you'll have to live with them like that.

They say that treatment isn't easy and it doesn't completely go away, but it's hard to find reviews from people who have actually undergone treatment.

 

When did my calf's white stretch marks look like that? I didn't even notice the red lines before the white stretch marks appeared.

 

It's amazing that you didn't know about that.

It is said that before white stretch marks appear, red lines first develop.

They say that if you receive treatment when a red line appears, the treatment goes well and it doesn't get worse.

If left untreated, it can cause white lines like mine to appear and the skin next to the lines to become thin.

They say you look good even during adolescence, so if your children suddenly gain weight or develop red lines on their skin, it would be a good idea to visit a dermatologist.

 

Why do white stretch marks appear?

 

Sudden weight gain causes the skin to stretch and tear, leading to the appearance of red streaks.

It mainly occurs during dry winters.

To prevent stretch marks, it is recommended to manage your weight so it doesn't suddenly increase, and in winter, to frequently apply high-moisture creams and massage regularly.

 

I wish I had known earlier and at least used stretch mark cream, but I’m only catching up after the fact.

If you leave progressive red stretch marks untreated, they will turn into white stretch marks like mine.

White stretch marks are almost hardened like scars.

I'm really upset to hear that stretch mark creams or massages have no effect at all.

 

It's best to prevent everything in advance.

If you respond well even in the early stages, treatment can be faster and easier.
