I have a small long line of discoloration on the side of my stomach. Almost looks like a bruising or burn marks but they aren t. I ve gotten something like it before but it went away and I m very worried about how I got it. It s kind of in the pattern of a big heavy tire mark. Kind of a tread.
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The long of discoloration on the abdomen which you had in the past and again have got is suggestive of a condition called Phlebo-thrombosis of the vein. This is an idiopathic process. IdiopatChatDoctoreaning no known reason for this condition. This is practically a self limiting condition and actually does not need any active treatment as such. If you are worried about it, get this consulted by a Doctor and discuss the condition I mentioned. We do advise in some cases Doxycycline, steroids and anti-inflammatory like serratiopeptidase. Remember you can get this condition again. So as a precaution, take plenty of oral fluids. Do not do massage. Leave it as it is.
