Having a hard time distinguishing what the mark is on my bicep. I have the same on my other bicep but it is less pronounced.

When I put tight fitting t shirts on I can see the marks in the mirror and it's stressing me out. The marks first came about a month ago - there is no chance of it being before then because I would have noticed as I pay great attention to detail. It's the first time this has ever happened and has coincided with me working out hard, so I'm worried that it's workout related.

So even though I want to get bigger and stronger, my sub-conscience is eating away at me, demotivating me to go to the gym in fear of causing even more of these marks. I should mention that I have anxiety and experience panic attacks occasionally, that are exacerbated in stressful times like now with exams and a dissertation to write. So I just want to find out what it is and get rid of it.

edit: just before anybody may mention redness around the insides of my elbow...that is the onset of eczema and is unrelated.

Looks like you scratched yourself.

Maybe next time focus the camera on the area you want to be clear LOL

Looks like stretch marks.

stretch marks

FUCKING joke. what the actual FUCK. I havent even put on more than a few lbs in the last month or two and my arms are small as fuck

definitely stretch marks. your skin has to stretch to compensate for the huge gnarly muscle you're growing under it

throw some coconut oil on those bad boys and watch your problems fade away like the setting sun going down against the horizon

Why do u care so much? I have huuuuge stretch marks all down the sides of my bum and some on my lower back idgafmasterrace why not just not have anxiety

i tought you were a med student?
you should know what this is

it's 4.15am and i cant sleep or stop thinking about it my heart is beating so fast and my chest feels so fucking tight. worried as shit

sounds like cancer.
