I've been noticing these red lines on my inner thighs for about a year now. It all began with a small mark on my left thigh, but since it didnt hurt, I ignored it. Over time, its spread to both legs and keeps getting worse. They dont hurt, but they look pretty bad, which makes me really uncomfortable and worried. I have gained some weight, around 23 kgs. Can you help me figure out whats going on and how to fix it?

Stretch marks can occur when the skin is stretched rapidly due to factors such as weight gain. To help improve the appearance of the red lines on your inner thighs, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can also use a moisturizer containing Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin hydrated. It is important to note that while these treatments may help improve the appearance of stretch marks, they may not completely eliminate them.

I'm dealing with this superficial hypertrophic scar that just isn't going away. I tried using Hexilak Ultra Gel for the last 5 months, but it hasn't completely removed it. Any suggestions or advice on what I should do next?
For superficial hypertrophic scars, you can try using Contractubex gel. Apply a thin layer of Contractubex gel on the affected area 2-3 times a day for at least 3 months for optimal results. Make sure to gently massage the gel into the scar. Additionally, you can also consider silicone gel sheets which have been shown to be effective in reducing hypertrophic scars.
