I've discovered an interesting thing with my stretch marks. I have a beautiful set from when I was 17 and I gained about 30 pounds during my fourth semester at college. They look just like pregnancy stretch marks, too. They've all faded and turned white now. The new ones for the pregnancy started popping up a couple of weeks ago, and now I've got ten or fifteen new ones. But except for one or two, all of the new ones are just extensions of the old ones. Very strange looking; right now they're just getting started, so it looks like I have red dots on the ends of my old stretch marks.
