A garment does not necessarily have to feel painfully tight to leave an impression. Continuous pressure from elastic can create a temporary groove or red line, particularly in areas where the skin naturally folds.
If the mark disappears relatively quickly after the clothing is removed and there is no significant pain, swelling, or skin damage, it is often related to ordinary pressure.
However, repeatedly
wearing clothing that causes discomfort can contribute to irritation over time. Choosing the correct size and avoiding garments that dig deeply into the skin may help.
Friction Can Cause More Than a Simple Line
Pressure is only part of the story. Movement can cause fabric to repeatedly rub against the skin.
