Concerns about New Stretch Marks and Body Changes

I gained ab 20 lbs if muscle and fat over the last few months. For a month I’ve been getting new bright red stretch marks. They keep growing/spreading and it’s in places I’ve never had before. It’s my arms, armpits, thighs, butt, hips, boobs, side, under boobs etc… it keeps spreading and spreading and I’m scared my entire body will be covered. I’m 30% stretch marks right now. I think it’s related to my skin issues and hypermobility. Anyone else relate or have solutions?

Yeah I have stretch marks on my knees and chest and butt, without much weight gain at all! It's very much a hypermobile-stretchy skin thing, but I just do my best to think of it as something natural and normal for my body. Don't quite have solutions, I've just sort of dealt with it and embraced it!
