Are red dots a sign of stretch marks?

For pregnant women, they are still quite worried about the appearance of stretch marks, because stretch marks are indeed stubborn and difficult to remove. Before stretch marks appear, red spots will appear on the skin. So when you find red spots and itching on your skin, it may be a precursor to stretch marks. It is normal to have stretch marks during pregnancy.

1. The early symptoms and signs of stretch marks are: 1. The belly starts to itch. 2. Red spots appear on the belly. 3. I found that the color around the belly is different from that of other parts of the body. 4. Light purple lines begin to appear on the belly. After a period of time, the local skin is stretched and thinned, and the capillaries and vein walls in the dermis also expand and become thinner, exposing the blood color and causing the skin stripes to appear purple or pink.

After delivery, the broken elastic fibers are slowly repaired, the capillaries and venous walls in the dermis gradually thicken, and the color of the skin stripes gradually fades to white or silver-white, but the skin cannot completely recover to its pre-pregnancy condition when no cracks occurred.

2. The time when stretch marks usually appear: 1. When a woman is pregnant for more than 3 months, the uterus and pelvic abdomen protrude and develop, the abdomen begins to bulge due to the increased influence of the uterus, and the elastic fibers in the skin and abdominal muscles begin to stretch. 2. Especially more obvious in the first 6 months of pregnancy. When it exceeds a certain limit, the elastic fibers of the skin are broken and the transverse rectus abdominis tendon also separates to varying degrees. As a result, irregular pink or purple longitudinal cracks appear on the abdominal skin. 3. After delivery, although the broken elastic fibers are gradually restored, it is difficult to return to their previous state. The original cracks in the skin will gradually fade and finally turn silver-white, causing stretch marks to appear.
