Very busy @ work lately, so the updates have taken a back seat. New and exciting development today, though.
Got out of the shower this morning and my inner thigh felt irritated. Took a look and discovered what appeared to be a nasty rash with a bunch of pinpoint bleeding - but in discrete lines. Showed it to my wife, who took one look and matter-of-factly concluded it was bleeding stretch marks. I thought this was insane, until I checked the other thigh and found stretch marks in the same spot... at least not bleeding, though.
So apparently I'm literally busting through my skin now - I did not think this was possible. There's probably something I should learn from this, but....I'm not that smart, apparently.

It's not as nasty as it sounds, but it is strange. I can't wait to see what other weird conditions I develop from all this "healthy" living. I'm supposed to be preventing this sort of stuff, not causing it.

Bizarre..... I wonder why you don't hear of pregnant women developing these..... Never heard of that before..... Hope they 'disappear' soon

@sk1nnyfuture - I googled it and got quite a few hits, actually. And the large majority of them were on pregnancy forums. The rest were weightlifters asking the same question (several of whom were getting it in the same location). The amateur consensus seemed to be that it wasn't a health concern. Seems right to me. I don't know if I should be proud or grossed out.

Me neither - you learn something new everyday - perhaps some vitamin E oil will help?

I've had a ton of experience with stretch marks... the only way to avoid them is very gradual weight gain, and even then, some people get them, some people don't.
