Did this to my skin trying to crack my back... Has anyone else had this happen before? Is it going to turn into a stretch mark? ):?

[Anonymous]

I have scoliosis and can't get into my chiropractor. Sometimes if I twist I can relieve some pain, but instead I just did this.

They're underneath the surface of my skin and it's not a scratch.

WTF? HELP!

(Yes, I know the sunlight illuminates my body hair. I swear it's not usually that visible.)

Opinions/advice welcome.

It's on my side, right on my natural waist above my hip and below my breasts.

You ruptured blood vessels under your skin, it will most likely cause a tan color when it heals
or could leave little freckles like appearance when it heals , i have ruptured blood vessels
on my legs , my legs healed over the years now it looks like tan freckles on my legs really
nothing the doctor can do

[Asker]

Hmm that's annoying. I hope they fade. Thanks for your opinion though.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yea they do fade some of mine actually disappeared
mine are from frequent infections of the skin but it
can happen from just what you did but they do heal

[Asker]

Thank god.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

You're welcome and I do agree with you
it sucks when it happens i have many of
them i saw your pic and right away i said
broken blood vessels but do one thing
watch for heat on it, if it appears more
red want seek medical attention but
i am very sure it's just broken blood vessels
you'll be okay :XD

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Oh God that sucks. You might have done this, but see a family doctor, and try to see other doctors for their advice. What I'd do is I'd leave it alone. If it doesn't hurt, continue about your life and ignore it, but if it's painful, find a MD doctor, not just a chiropractor.

[Asker]

My doctor doesn't do anything except refer me to a chiropractor. I know I did it, it wasn't there before I twisted to try and crack my back.

[Plato]

Okay, you've got to try to do some additional research, say check the internet out. Find people with similar problems. Learn more about it. That's what I did about a lot of things.

[Asker]

Additional research on my scoliosis or on me rupturing blood vessels?

[Plato]

Whatever it is. If you have something you don't know, someone else who knows about it probably wrote about it. I know my mom had the latter problem, but that's from standing for long hours, no?

[Asker]

No I meant the thing in the pic I just posted. I'm pretty educated on my scoliosis and I don't even know what I did to my skin to search it.

[Plato]

Mmmm... M... I'd contact my aunt who is a doctor. But cause is very important, when did you first notice it?

[Asker]

This morning.

[Plato]

Oh goodness. What did you do yesterday or the week before? What are the possibilities?

[Asker]

Nothing! I just think it's from twisting too much

[Plato]

Yeah, refrain from it and see what happens.

[Asker]

I will (:

[Plato]

Haha, keep me in the loop!

[Anonymous]

Nah it won't be a stretch mark. Stretch marks don't form like that. That's probably just some blood under your skin and it'll go away eventually

[Asker]

Thanks!

[lumos]

Looks almost like a bruise. Doesn't look like a stretch mark. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[Asker]

Thank you.

[Otaku-sama]

I've done that. It should go away in a few days or a week. Try putting lotion on it. Don't worry about the hairs, lol, everyone has them!

[Asker]

Oh thank god. I was so worried, it hurts!

Thanks for your opinion.

[Otaku-sama]

I think you ruptured some blood vessels, painful, but it should be ok.

[Asker]

Thank you!
