Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your problem description. I suggest you not to worry. There is no chance of a sudden appearance of stretch mark after taking bath. The stretch mark was there, and you missed it. Or it become visible after a good bath. That is all.
You are mildly over weight. You must check your BMI and if it is above 25, you should reduce weight.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
