Dimpled skin under bump might be orange peel skin

Maternity triage at north Manchester was useless at looking into this problem for me and even my gp said triage need to look into it apparently this is stretch marks … even not being a doctor I can be certain is not stretch marks … stretch marks look nothing like this and they don’t hurt or cause pain …. It hurts really bad and feels aweful when bending and moving has anyone else has this I think it’s orange peel skin not stretch marks any tips on how to manage the swelling on the skin ?

This was how my stretch marks first appeared 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just kept up on my oils but 11 years later and my boobs are still as tiger stripe looking.

I have something similar but really itchy to the point of painful at times. Yesterday I got some Aloe Gel Dr organic brand from Holland and Barrett and it immediately cooled the area and I didn’t itch for a few hours. Highly recommend xx

I have similar - hard to tell Exactly from the picture but my midwife said it was stretch marks but with a build up of fluid which is what makes them feel like bumps. They have started to go down now and she said eventually the fluid will work it’s way out and they will go down. Not sure if it’s exactly the same but could be that.

Hmmm 🤔 it’s very strange I’m in a lot of pain with it but no one is helping me I’m so worried if it’s something serious
