I am 16 years old, 5'10"ish and 185. I have these marks on my thighs near my crotch because I didnt do much but it probaly has to do with the fact I was on the computer for to long. My question is what can i do to get rid of these? When I search on the internet I always find stuff for woman and not to sure what to do. Thank you.

Uhh, Piz...no offense, but I don't understand your post honey, could you clarify?

If they are actually stretch marks, they didn't come from being on the computer too long. Try doing a search here for stretch marks if that is what your question is and if it is not, you need be a little more specific, ok?

Heh well what i meant was I was on the computer for a long period of time and didnt exercise that much and put on some weight so I think thats what contributed to my skin stretching out some. If you need me to clarify it some more just ask heh

Alrighty, I see what you're getting at now.

Yes, stretch marks can be attributed to weight gain just like pregnancy and muscle growth. But I don't know that I would term it as the "cause". I think the tendancy of one's skin to get these nasty little marks is genetic. Do a search here on stretch marks and you'll get lots of vauable opinions and information.
