"Striae induced by prolonged systemic steroid use are usually larger and
wider than other phenotypes of striae and involve widespread areas
occasionally including the face."
This is the only reference I saw to striae on the face, it's from
http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic406.htm, which is actually a good
overview. It seems to say that extensive stretch marks are highly
indicative of a steroid problem, like you would see in (as your endo
pointed out) adrenal problems. I can't wait to see what your tests say
when they come back - am very interested now!
