Red Purplish Lines on Buttocks

[Crystalizhere]

Hi i am 25 weeks pregnant and these red purplish lines have started appearing on my buttock the last 3 days, mostly underneath where my underwear would sit.

I was wandering if anyone could help me identify if they are varicose veins, stretch marks or a non itchy sort of rash due to oiling and sitting.

Depending on what they are I would have to decide to keep oiling the area as I don't want it to get worst.

Any sort of help would be great, thanks!! First time pregnancy and all these weird things keep appearing 

Update - Mumsnet wont let me upload an image as i have a new account, i will update and image in 48 hours if it allows

They sound like stretch marks. They are red at first and fade over time.

Stretch marks. Try bio oil - it can help prevent getting too mAny more but I think it’s mostly genetic?

Sounds like stretch marks. Moisturisers can help sooth them but unfortunately it’s mostly genetics whether you get them or not

Probably stretch marks I'm afraid. Mine were only on the lower half of my bump after I thought I'd got away with it despite getting them on my boobs and thighs during puberty.

Don't waste money on oils and creams to try and prevent them, nothing will
