I had a tummy tuck two months ago. Most of my stretch marks were removed. I was however left with a few white vertical ones that are white and very old, faded. I am now two months post op and a few weeks ago all of a sudden red marks started appearing all over my stomach. I don’t know what this is. I have forward these pics to my doctor with no response as of yet. I am very concerned. Hoping somebody can tell me what it is and what I can do about it.
