New purple/red lines across my breast, no pain but concerned as to what they are?

hi! over the last few weeks i've noticed some horizontal red or purple sort of lines across my right breast. I had a lot of pain about two months ago in my left breast and arm with shooting pains which was put down to nerve damage, and it was then I first noticed these marks. They quickly faded and over the last two weeks they have come back a lot darker. At first I thought it could be stretch marks, but it doesn't look like what they would typically look like. There is no pain or discomfort at all, I only notice really in the shower or getting dressed when I see them in the mirror. I'm 21, no children so its not related to breast feeding - does anyone have any idea?

thank you in advance image
