Hi

What you have does not suggest a serious underlying condition. I do not think this is something you should be worried about. You are still young and skin changes may be noticeable as you age. At this point, any rapid changes in weight especially fluctuations in weight may lead to noticeable stretch marks. Apply vitamin E cream over the area. Exercise regularly and drink plenty of water everyday. If the skin condition persists, have yourself assessed by a endocrinologist to check for underlying hormonal problems.
