On Depo Shot For Years. Getting Purplish Indented Scar Tissue On Stomach. What Are They?

I am a female in my earlyish twenties, I have been on the Depo shot for five years. About six months ago i started getting these purplish indented scar tissue on my stomach. The skin is very thin and sensitive. I thought they were stretch marks for a while, but all my friends say they ve never seen anything like them. Have any idea what they could be?
