i’m a 22f with no children. i’m 5’6, 146 lbs. i recently gained and then lost 30 lbs. (used to be 170-something due to daily alcohol drinking and bad diet). i had one very noticeable stretch mark on my lower left belly, guessing due to the alcohol weight. well, today i just noticed another one even though im 30 lbs down, also on my left side. my right side has nothing, its completely clear.
why could i be getting stretch marks on only one side, and why could i be getting them now even though im at a relatively healthy weight? i dont have good insurance, and its extremely hard to get into my doctor, let alone dermatologist. what should i do? i rarely drink, and have a pretty balanced diet. i exercise at home maybe 3 times a week.
i’ve been on the birth control pill for 9 almost 10 years. is it possible that it’s something with that, or maybe hormones? i’m at my wits end here, and it’s defeating me mentally. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated ❤️
