A member asked:

Do stretch marks on my thighs mean i am putting on weight even though i can't really see it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stretch marks: If the stretch marks are new or getting bigger but your weight is stable I think it would be a good idea to discuss this with your doctor. If you are gaining some weight along with the stretch marks pay careful attention to your food intake and get in a bit more exercise.
