Stretch marks can be pink, red, brown, black, silver or purple. They usually start off darker and fade over time. Stretch marks are most common on the tummy, chest, upper arms, legs, bottom, hips or back.

Why are my stretch marks purple?

When the connective fibers of your skin stretch too much, they can tear and leave a mark. This new scar may initially appear as red or purple from blood vessels seen through the skin. Over time, your stretch marks may fade into a silver or white hue and become more difficult to treat.

Is it bad if your stretch marks are purple?

They aren't dangerous, and although they may first appear dark purple or red, they usually fade over time. If you're interested in products to improve the appearance of stretch marks, consult your dermatologist or doctor.
