Hi my boyfriend has weird marks what have appeard on his back and they look like scars but they wre not stretch marks can u please help me by explain?

Skin marks: It would be best to show your boyfriend's primary doctor or have him consult on healthtap with video or picture upload. It is difficult to tell without seeing the marks you describe. Acne scarring in a person with hypertrophic scarring or keloiding can be significant. Please have your boyfriend show a doctor for confirmation and treatment .
