L90.6: Striae atrophicae

Your skin has changed in certain places.

You have stretch marks on your skin in certain parts of your body. These stretch marks can appear when growing quickly or losing weight quickly, for example. They can also appear on the stomachs of pregnant women. Stretch marks usually tend to be red at first, and later a little paler than the surrounding skin. The skin in these places is usually a little thinner.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
