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.
