Why do I have new stretch marks?

I have lost about 20 pounds since the beginning of the year. My exercise routine is a 3-3.5 mile speed walk up and down the hills in my neighborhood, and occasionally lifting my 5-pound hand weights. I had noticed under my right arm, I have new stretch marks! I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm losing weight not gaining it. Has this happened to anyone else?
 
Yes unfortunatley it's a side effect of any increasing or decreasing mass under the skin. Until last year I had never worked out, my muscles were basically non-existant, I finally got around to working out and I was doing it at heavy amounts.

I now have stretch marks under my arms and over my biceps from weightlifting! I also have minor stretch marks on my legs, stomach and chest from rapid fat loss and fat gain and fat loss again due to massive amounts of stress. I think you can get various creams for them that some people find very effective.

Mine seem to disappear on my biceps as long as I keep the muscles big.
