Stretch marks or broken vessels? Anyone have experience?

My skin is starting to look awful but not in the way I expected. My skin is not tight or sore and is very soft on the surface. I have a lot of marks on my breats and now some on my hips. The don't look like stretch marks to me, or like those I've seen on others as they're not lines. They are obviously very deep and look more like lots of small broken bood vessels under the skin giving dark red/ purple spidery patches. It looks more like deep bruising and spider veins than stretching. My skin is otherwise smooth, soft and elastic and the marks are not in the places where the skin in most stretched strangely. Does anyone have/ have had similar? How does it fade? Or are spidery stretch marks also normal?

Hi,

I remeber when i got my first stretch marks on my tummy, they looked like marks from where my PJ'S had been but just grew up and up, and eventually got very itchy and sore, i have a lot over my tummy hips. now that it has been 4 years after my last pregnancy my stomach looks literraly like i have scars all over it.

I also have broken veins on my legs (arent i lucky) and they literally look like veins resish under my skin, mine dont hurt just visable and in my case havent gonme.

Hope that helps.
