What Causes Dark Lines On The Legs During Pregnancy?
Hi, I am 22 weeks pregnant, I noticed that a couple of dark-ish lines have appeared by the inside of my legs, one on each side in the last few days. They are about 15 cm long and are not painful or itchy at all. Could it be something to worry about? Thanks!

Hi
I would recommend a physical examination as I do not have the comfort of viewing the region but if these lines are not straight then we should investigate varicose veins or DVT, but others even straiae are possible in the region and many other possibilities as well. without a physical examination I will not be able to tell you much but none of these can be really serious but everything in pregnancy is worth reporting.
Best wishes.
