    Default Unexplained marks on my body

    Okay, so I'm starting to get freaked out!
    Like a ghost, alien or demon is attacking me..lol...that sounds crazy, but I dunno what they are!

    About a month or two ago, I was getting out of the bath and saw these crazy marks on my left thigh. They looked almost like a bruise, or scrape, but they didn't hurt or anything. They were noticable enough for me to have to cover at work.

    They didn't itch, burn, hurt...or anything...they were just...THERE!

    A few days ago, I was getting in the shower and noticed the same marks under my left arm. Again, they didn't hurt, no symptoms of anything.

    Those ones cleared up in just a few days. The ones on my thigh cleared up in about a week.

    TODAY, I'm getting in the shower and now have them on the right side of my back!

    No one in the house has them....and they're just weird looking.
    They don't hurt or anything. I feel totally fine, it's just weird.

    I took a pic this time...anyone know what this is? What's causing it??
    Omg...I hope I'm not diseased or possessed lmao

    They look like bunch marks. I get them alot cause of my skin type but its just marks made by your clothes pressing against your skin for some time. It can even be from your blanket, pulling the covers tight against you.

    While a blanket mark could cause them, I think it might be something else since they last a few days.

    I used to wake up with similar marks. It wasn't until I started sharing a bed with my boyfriend that I found out I was clawing myself in my sleep. Not hard enough to break the skin or cause pain, but enough that it left marks like the ones in your pic. The next day, they wouldn't hurt at all, but they looked ugly.

    Maybe try clipping your nails short, or wear gloves when you sleep for a few nights, and see if no new marks show up.

    They could be petechiae ("pet-ee-kee-eye"). Clusters of inpoint bruises that appear as a result of some sort of sharp impact. Like a slap. They can appear in crazy patterns. Also, if you drink at all, that can cause you to bruise MUCH more easily (I've experienced this).

    I use to get marks similar to those around my calves from wearing white socks with the bumpy bands that were pressed too tightly against the skin from motorcycle boots for long periods of time. Wasn't really tight at all, but it was enough. Went to the doctor and he said to wear different socks (which solved the problem), and also that it was probably genetic that my skin was more prone to bruising and scarring.

    Could be clothing, or impacts, or night clawing...all interesting answers!

    They could be scrapes from accidentally hitting up against/scraping something at work. Ive come home from work with marks like that before and worse.

    they look a lot like the stretch marks ive got down the back of my thighs (im not fat nor have i ever been more than a size 8 ) when i first got them, now theyve faded to silvery and arent very noticeable.

    if the marks disappear then they arent stretch marks but some kind of bruise like everyone else said though
