Someone with knowledge on skin and rashes?

I have these weird looking rashes all over my body, including my arms legs sides stomach and groin area. At first I thought they would go away but they seem to be getting worse. They look like stab markings. Could it be an allergic reaction or do I have a skin disorder or what?





Here are some pics of my rashes any help would be appreciated.

Someone with knowledge on skin and rashes?
Yes, they are stretch marks, very typical. My husband gained weight rapidly when he was taking an antidepressant and got them in all the same places.





Check your weight, figure out what it is that's causing you to gain, and speak to your doctor about what you can do to arrest the weight gain.
Reply:To be honest they look a lot more liek stretch marks. Which are caused when your skin doesnt have enough elasticity to stretch with the growth of your body. If its a rash then I havent see anything like it... are they symptomatic?
Reply:Looks like stretch marks ,,Probably brought on by rapid weight gain losing some weight will stop new new ones..


The skin will lighten up after time
Reply:Hun, that's not a rash, those are simply stretch marks! When people pack on a little weight, those tell-tale stretch marks pop up to let the world know you've "grown" a little bit too much. Try to cut down on fattening foods and pump some iron to firm up those arms and the marks will change from red to your skin colour after a while.





If you don't, you might as well just get used to the red marks. But if you take charge of your lfe NOW, with semi-regular exercise and watching what you eat most of the time, they'll be almost un-noticeable afterwhile.





It's not a rash, so don't worry. I've seen stretch marks a million times before.

Reply:I admittedly have poor vision, but, this could also be a condition called Livedo Reticulitis. This covers most of my body, and is most often associated with an autoimmune disorder- Antiphospholipid Syndrome. It shows more often when cold. I am including a site that has a picture of this. (Scroll down to skin conditions) For some this can come and go, but it has become permanent on me.


Best wishes
Reply:Thank you for posting pics that makes the description clearer. Good heavens I haven't seen something like that unless you were a lady who's expecting. An easy cheep way to examine your skin would be to order a 30X handheld lighted microscope. you can put the scope right on your skin to see it. See if you see any tiny thread like things blue, black., red , or white under your skin. That's morgellons. if there are none then I would see any household chemical like laundry soap 5that takes 5 rinses to get out maybe causing your skin to do that .Try some antifungle cream 3 x a day on the rash in case its Candida yeast there . Feel better , I am so sorry
Reply:u need to shed like 70 pounds and go see a plastic surgeon because those are stretch marks buddy and its gross and your pot belly makes me sick to my stomach!!!
