Is it normal for my boyfriend to have purple stretch marks from working out?

Stretch marks are common in individuals who are training and experiencing muscle growth. They may initially appear as dark or purple in color, but over time they usually fade and blend in with the surrounding skin. Using a fragrance-free moisturizer such as Base Glaxal, Aveeno, or Cerave can help improve the appearance of stretch marks. Applying the moisturizer 1-2 times a day can be beneficial in managing their appearance.
