A member asked:

Got out of the shower tonight and noticed a thin, blue line the size of my fingernail on my thigh. worked out a lot today-could it be strain or a stretch mark? im fairly light skinned so perhaps it could be that, too. or is it a circulation issue?

Sounds to me like you were noticing a blood vessel that usually you don't see. The heat of the shower likely caused it to dilate to the point you noticed it. You might try sometime putting a heating pad on the area and see if you can reproduce the "line". If so, it's a pretty shut and dried case that it's a blood vessel. Nothing to worry about!
