Hey guys,

Recently, I've noticed something like small spider veins, but their red (as opposed to the blue-ish) and very small. It's just a patch of maybe 2 or 3 on the skin on my sides.

Could they be stretch marks of some sort? It's the only thing I can think of--I did lose 25 pounds this summer. But I was never obese

Any ideas? I just don't want it to be a health hazard or anything. I'm 19!

Thanks,
ACG
 
Stretch marks are white. Not red.

Yur marks sound like a blood vessel thing.
 
actually, new stretch marks are red before they fade to that off-white color.

does sound more like broken capilaries. I get them on top of my shoulders from the standing calf raise machine...cuz I have to do the whole stack...490 lbs or something. the pads just dig into my skin and pop them.
 
But these are on my sides, not a lot, just a few small ones on my outer rib cage, where no gym equipment really touches.
 
Live from...stretch marks are reddish-purple at first. I have enough of them to know that personally.

You can get broken capilaries from a lot of things though, it doesn't necessarily take 490lbs of pressure on your shoulders to get them. Could get them just as easily from stretching the skin real quick...like if someone grabs you (not from losing weight). I wouldn't worry about the red marks unless they stick around for a little while.
