You gotta get out of the S&M Business.

I dont see how this is realated to photography but w.e (lots on GC isnt so...)

uh, its possible that they are stretch marks from loss and gain of muscle but I doubt that. You can actually see the healed scar tissue. Maybe you scratch your back or something like that in the same spot. I got scars on my back as well. I wouldnt worry about it.

And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

Hey, I'm only 15 years old and it looks like these "markings" have been on back since I've noticed them.

Ummm, huh? So ok .. just when did you notice them?
And have you even seen your Dr. regarding these scars?
What are your parents thoughts?

Looks like you're being visited by aliens ..

Being born with a very dominant sarcasm gene...I have to ask...

and it looks like these "markings" have been on back since I've noticed them.

They may have been there before you noticed them. But surely didn't appear after you noticed them.

It stays in the same exact spot.

Why are you expecting that these markings would move?

having gotten that out of my system, do you have a cat?

So, I have a dumb question and with all due respect...

Why not seek the services of, you know, a trained professional...say a doctor? They're called "Dermatologist"...

I was always told it was stretch marks from a growth spurt. Only had them for like 2 years, and they are gone now.

Stretch marks from growth spurt might sound like the answer...

Lol no cat :lol: I thought they would disappear as normal scars do. Then somehow reappear.

I thought it was aliens at first too!

Ummm, huh? So ok .. just when did you notice them?

I think when I was 14. Didn't think much of it then, thought they'd go away.

My younger brother also had stretch marks on his back when he shot up like 6 inches as a teen. So if you have grown fast lately, I would think that is probably the cause. My brother's did go away over time. His were lower down on the back, but looked like he had been clawed by a tiger.

Sure! Blame the kitties!

He probably got them from his girlfriend, especially if she's "S" and he's "M."

Actually, certain forms of exercise can also produce stretch marks.
