Got weird marks near my shoulders...should I be of concern???

[Hoeboy]

It's located just outside of my armpit between the pectoral and shoulder muscle. I don't have a digital cam but it looks like an imprint. It looks like when someone bites you and they leave an imprint of their teeth except this one is bigger than teeth markings. Both of my arms have the same sort of marking but varies in size and shape. It doesn't hurt or feel sore or anything. At first I thought it was an imprint from the way I sleep but it's been there for a few days without showing signs of clearing up. I want to goto a doctor to have it checked out but I haven't had the time, plus my doctor is pretty sh!tty. He would probably say it's nothing anyways. What do you guys think? Btw, it's red in color just like when someone bites you. But there is no discoloration anywhere around or near it.

Sounds like stretch marks. Have you been lifting weights or gained/lost weight recently?

Edit: Oh yeah, if they're stretch marks you don't have anything to worry about... although they usually become permanent they will lighten up a lot (usually).

i was lifting weights frequently over summer and gained 20 lbs. i never noticed the marks until recently so i'm not sure if it was there for a long time. it may be stretch marks but the shape is pretty weird.

If you've lifted weights throughout the summer - there's a good chance that those are NOT stretch marks - stretch marks usually come from the over-exertion of a muscle (in the earlier stages of lifting). Your lifting form is probably intact if you're able to have such gains, so the chances of weights having a bearing on your pecs/shoulder region is slim at best.

If you do not feel anything in any way whatsoever, but there is visibility, then it might just be an allergic skin tone reaction of sorts. Give it a few more days and it should go away - this happened to my friend, except his case seemed a lot more severe - I suggest that you try rubbing some aloe vera onto it since it has a vitamin E component that will do your skin good

Good luck

Keep us posted

I have the same type of mark in the exact same area. Noticed mine after a particularly bad day of lifting, so I'm assuming it's a stretch mark of some sort. Oh well, scars add character

Bah, those sounds like stretch marks. I've got them all over that area too. Better take care of them before they get any larger... use cocoa butter, that supposedly helps (i never, but i stoppped bulking up a long time ago).

Man, how hard is it to find pictures of stretch marks... you'll think if you can find pictures of ppl screwing animals, it would be pretty easy to find pictures of bodybuilding stretch marks.

Those marks are from where the aliens strap on the harness for the anal probe . You've probably got some other stretch marks, too, but you just can't see them. (Try some Preperation H on those!)
