Dead skin line pubic area
Hi , I am noticing one dead skin like red line near pubic area, between start of leg and penis . It's not paining or itching. But when I touch it , it feels like it's empty inside within that red line section. One dermatologist said it's because of increasing fat. But it's increasing day by day and it's on only left side not right. Please guide me I am scared is it serious issue? What it may be? What should I do ? I don't even know what it is and it's name. Attached photos of that area.please guide me . Thanks

Hello
It is a stretch Mark. It can happen due to sudden increase or decrease in weight. It is a type of atrophic scar. Nothing to worry about as it is a cosmetic problem only. There are very little options for treatment which includes Anti stretch Mark creams and scar improving procedures. Do not expect great results from them but.
