Answers:
They are stretch marks from you body expanding too quickly for the skin. Use a lot of body lotion everyday and this will stop more from appearing, however there is no way to get rid of the existing marks unless you have laser treatment. Some will fade a little, but you will always be able to see them, as they are like scars from growth. Lots of lotion is the trick to keep you skin soft and flexible.
My boyfriend had the same thing happen to him because he was growing fast. He has marks all over his back from his first growth spurt.. he got bigger (more muscular) and his shoulders got more broad when he was older and he got stretch marks in the same exact places you describe. I don't think it's harmful... if it gets really bad it might just turn into scar tissue as it did with him.
don't worry about that. but you should go to see doctor and ask this question. you can get some information from the professianl .
