Weird marks on body

    I was in the gym last night, done some weights for my upper body for the first time in a long time. When i came out of the shower there are 2 lines like scratches on both my shoulders and one on my side that werent there before i went to the gym.

    They are not scratches but look like them, they are under the skin instead of on top of it. It looks almost as if something has burst under my skin, it looks something similar to one of those lovebites you used to get when you were younger.

    Anyone any ideas?

    Slight stretch marks, I get them after weights sometimes too.

    I was going to suggest that it was marks from dirty dumbell. I sometimes get this on my shoulders/upper chest edges if wearing a wife beater.

    For the first few times I was baffled as to where the marks were coming from until I realised it was the position of dumbells when hoisting into military press.

    I'm getting stretch marks on the inside of my upper upper thighs (calm down, ladies!) so it could be that!

    Yeah I get that sometimes too when I'm lifting dumbbells up to other people or hoisting them up onto my shoulders.

    Wouldn't be ringworm or something like that? Fungal skin conditions can be fairly rampant in changing rooms etc if people don't wash their gear, share gear, towels etc.

    I did weights today and had them on my shoulder blades (I was benching and it's where the most pressure was on the bench). It looks like a lovebite type bruise alright. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
