Is it normal to have these thin reddish lines on my inner thighs?

I've had them for a while. I'm not fat, and I have an athletic build and I'm almost always involved in a sport. I'm worried the lines might be varicose veins. I think they're really gross looking and I'm super self-conscious about them and it makes me think a guy would think they're disgusting.

    Oh my friend has these lines, and she's thin and athletic but she has to stand for prolonged periods due to her job, so it's most likely spider veins.

    Stretchmarks happen to everyone regardless of weight.

    Massage some bio oil on them

    They are most likely stretch marks and can be caused from a fast growth, especially during puberty/ prepuberty ages. Many many people have them. No big deal.

    yes it's normal and it's nothing bad I have them too and weirdly enough they r stretch marks u have them because ur athletic u stretch and then use ur muscles over and over rich causes them and no they r not pretty but usually u can get some cream at like a pharmacy and it will lighten the color or make them go away all together so they don't look as bad

    They do sound like spider veins which are easily destroyed.

    The things we worry about are not what men would even think about; pot bellies, dry skin, short nails - that's why they think women are silly!
