Horizontal scratches on the back

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

I woke up to these weird scratch type marks across my back two days ago and they are still there. I do not know where they came from. They don't itch, hurt or bleed. I have no clue and the internet offers no help or insight. I am on Prednisone once a day for my sarcoidosis. I have been on it for about 5 weeks now. Could my Prednisone cause these scratch like marks across my back

Hi Thanks for your query. Clinical photographs would have been helpful to suggest a diagnosis. Though from history it appears that you could have developed stretch marks due to prednisolone.
