Odd red streaks on inner thighs, aren't going away.

I'm not sure if this is the right board for this, please move if it's wrong.

I have these red marks on my thighs that I noticed about a month ago (could have been there longer). They are painless and do not itch, but feel indented if I run a finger over them. It feels the same running your finger over the creases in your palm. They are present on both my left and right inner thighs.

At first I dismissed them as nothing, but my hypochondria has kicked in and now I'm a bit worried about them.

I may have had these for a lot longer and just not noticed (in which case I'm probably fine), but I'm just wondering if I should get it looked at. Thanks much in advance!

edit: Forgot to mention, I'm 18 if it matters.
 
They aren't quite lines, just little dashes. I don't think they're stretch marks, I didn't notice them until about a month ago and they don't fall into any creases no matter how I bend my leg.
 
Stretch marks can be short or long, depends on how much stretching there is. And the don't have to fall in creases. In fact they show up mainly where there aren't creases. Have you gained any weight lately?
 
No, I've stayed at about the same weight for the past few years. I could stand to lose a few pounds I guess, but I'm not horribly overweight or anything.

Unrelated quick question: I've got a bit of a pot belly (though my weight is about normal for my age) and a chronic cough (had this for about a year). Could these be the signs of a lactose or glucose intolerance?
