Stretch marks?: If these are spontaneous or developed around puberty they may be stretch marks. Unfortunately there is not much you can do to improve these. I would discuss the nature of the lesions with your dermatologist or primary care physician.

Stretch marks: Sounds like this is probably stretch marks which results from scarring of the deeper layer of skin and loss of the normal structure of the skin. There are some lasers that can occasionally improve the appearance of stretch marks by a percentage (not 100%) after a series of treatments.
