Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe these appears to be the stretch marks, if you became over weight recently. The other causes may be due to defeciency , fungal infection, etc.
For stretch marks also these days medicines are available. I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
If obese try to control the weight ,avoid taking fatty foods, fries, icecream etc.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
