I am thin, but I have what looks like stretch marks on my hips, but have never been fat. What causes this?

Stretch marks occur when skin stretches suddenly. The dermis (inner layer of skin) gets thinner as it stretches and tears. These small tears mean you can see the blood vessels and that is what gives stretch marks their pinky red color. After a period of time the blood vessels contract and the stretch marks get a silvery appearance.
Causes of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are common in:
- Adolescence when you have periods of fast growth. Not great for teens when appearance is so important.
- Athletes training bulks up muscle. Stretch marks are very common in weight lifters.
- In weight loss or weight gain where the skin undergoes rapid changes.
- Straie (stretch marks) can also occur
as a result of disease. These diseases include Cushing's Syndrome,
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, over use of steroid hormones, and sometimes in
diabetes."
