What Causes Indent On Both The Legs?

Hi, I have noticed an indent on both legs in the same place on the top half of my thighs. They span across my thigh for about 6cm horizontally and are easily visible to look at. I think these have appeared over the last 6 months or so. Firstly what could have caused the indented lines, what could I do to get rid of them and is there anything I should be aware of. If by some chance they are related, I have been on 15-20mg of carbimazole for about six months and also take the Yasmin contraceptive pill. Thank you, Caroline
