Why do I have stretch marks on my legs?

Some women will develop stretch marks during pregnancy, while others will not. This is a matter of individual differences. Some women have stretch marks around their belly, while others have them on the sides of their thighs. After becoming pregnant, women are always worried that they will develop terrible stretch marks, and even observe their bodies every day to see if there are stretch marks. In fact, as long as you use the correct method, you can still get rid of these annoying stretch marks.

1. Why do people who are not pregnant also have stretch marks on their thighs?

1. These are stretch marks. Some women are too fat, which causes a large amount of subcutaneous fat to accumulate in the skin, causing it to overstretch under mechanical action. Later, due to dieting and other reasons, the subcutaneous fat suddenly decreases, causing the already highly expanded skin to shrink, thus causing stripes that resemble stretch marks.

2. Similar skin patterns may occur if you take glucocorticoids for a long time or are affected by certain diseases, such as diabetes, hyperadrenocortical function, etc.
