Cannot post a pic, but under my breasts,I have some stretch mark looking striations...they have turned brown, almost like the many skin tags on my neck area.
They have perhaps even a Keloid look if I understand the term... very odd..
Anyone else have something similar 7. Could it be the Bartonella...I was told I have...7.
Lately they are bothering me,and my eyes are again too... Tho'ts please!!!
Thanks from Silverwolfi

<<<<< dmc >>>>>,
Thanks for the reply,I don't have an LLMD at this time...Will be checking soon w/ someone in med' field who may be at least LL.
Having read a bit about " Bart' Cover ".and some of the pics I have seen from Links posted here...I am really wondering.
Normally, the stretch mark looking stuff was Purplish reddish,or silvery looking...from photos I've seen.
It is beginning to rather bother me... getting quite pronounced, like raised brown stretch marks.
I am hoping,after we get TxC' home from Surgical rehab, to check out the info' I was given...and see if the Dr, may be able to help.
I don't seem to be really recovering...just sort of hovering,and the symptoms are worsening again.[Both Lyme,Bart' and whatever else may be up ].
I do believe it would be wise to show the Dr. when I do get a chance to go...If the individual doesn't know what it is...I'd bet they could help us find someone who can tell,and who can work w/ us finances wise.
Thanks again for the reply!

Hi there,
Anyone else w/ tho'ts on what this may be...
Responses are greatly appreciated !!!
Trying to come up w/ treatment ideas until I can see someone knowledgeable about LD and Co's.
Getting itching and aching of affected areas[achy joints, etc.], plantars fascitis acting up again...vision blurring...and so on...which is why I am wondering if the Bart' problem is acting up yet again.
I know we cannot Dx' online ,others experiences can be very helpful tho'!!!
Thanks for any input!

Yep ...I know...just me again here...
I'm full of Questions today/lately...
What would cause ' stretch mark looking skin pattern to be slightly raised and turn brown...
When I get to an LL med' professional..I am going to ask about some form of antiviral... that is easy on the pocket book.
The 'stretch marks' I originally was asking about... are looking more and more like skin tags in a different form. I am seeing some on other areas of my skin now too,that have that silvery look.
Now while I have been losing some weight,it hasn't been mass quantities in a tearing hurry.

Just wanted to say that my daughter developed "stretch marks" on her thighs early on, with treatment they faded. Our llmd thought they were from bartonella, and they were near the swollen lymph nodes and not too far from the site of the tick bites.
After stopping meds she now has different larger "stretch marks" on her arms, breasts, abdomen, thighs and calfs. She had just gained some weight, but the stretch marks came later.
Of all non-llmd and nurses we have showed them to the only person who said they were not stretch marks was the only person who said "I've got stretch marks, and those are not stretch marks". Have not shown the new ones to LLMD.
You mentioned they were raised. I think I read somewhere that stretch marks were indented, not raised.

Hi <<<<< MommaK >>>>>,
The under breast marks are raised...the rest are basically mildly indented...[inner thighs, belly]
But they are close to some swollen lymph nodes...[the somewhat raised ones] underarms are swollen a bit right now.
So I am really wondering if I've got some reactivated viral stuff going too.
Thanks so much for the reply!!! I do hope your daughter is getting better and feeling more energetic!!!
