Often just growing: quickly can lead to stretch marks, as well as working out. It is very common. There are new lasers that treat them well. The earlier you treat them the faster they respond, if they bother you

Just had a CBC taken, my TSH was 4.76, the range on my report was 4 50, but my doc didn't treat me, is this high enough to get medication? Also, is this underactive or overactive? Could stress cause it, and if so can it go back to normal w/ no meds?
