i have red veins all around my breasts!! PLEASE HELP!

i don't know since when this had happened, but i realized few days ago that around my breasts (mostly the area under my nipples) i have red veins showing.

My mom says that it's because during this summer i gained a lot of weight (freshmen 15, haha) and the veins in my breasts popped because my breasts couldn't handle the extra weight.

I don't know.... it kind of sounds pretty reasonable....

It doesn't hurt though...

What do you think these red veins are?? Popped veins?

Sounds like stretch marks. 

that's what i think as well.

what can i do about it?

They look anything like this?

Nothing you can do, but they fade in time (they'll be flesh colored instead of red).

I dont think veins just pop from a little extra weight o.O lol

Yup, I would go with the stretchmarks thing...i hear there are lotions you can help for that though?

- Yeah, they look similar to that pic, but lighter and not as thick.

Do they deform your breasts though??? That's what I'm worried about the most since the "stretch marks" are mostly under my breasts...

How effective are those lotions for stretch marks?

I hear they can help a lot...softening the skin so you dont actually get as many stretch marks (so if you know its coming, like pregnant) and also helping them heal better so they arent as bad as scars later. Just google "stretch mark lotions" or something like that and you should get a bunch of stuff.

bio-oil is meant to be really good for stretchmarks.  it's also used to fade scars (naturally occuring or surgical).  They will fade in time and if you have only a couple they'll be almost invisible.  If you have a lot then they will still be noticeable, but they will fade to a silvery/white colour so won't look as bad as they do now.

yeah! use bio-oil and cocoa butter!

This is sold at walmart/target/walgreens,ect. It's really great for any scars. It totally works which was a surprise to me. I was very impressed by the results myself. I used it for stretch marks. It was a last resort for me that actually showed me real results.

It actually gave me visible results just like advertised. I'm glad that I know now for future reference. A lot of parents should have it in their medicine cabinets,imo. I think it's an amazing product for children too. There's was a noticeable difference just like advertised. I figured it was a waste of money, but worth a shot. Lol. It was one of those last resort skeptical/hopeful purchases. I was very happily surprised it wasn't just a pure waste. :) Best of luck.

Almost every girl at some point gets stretch marks on her breasts. They suck, but they don't deform and they fade. I can't even see mine anymore.
