Stretch marks are caused by a faster growth of tissue underneath a slower-growing layer of skin. Body builders and big-eaters can get them.

There really is no medically sound remedy for them. But a professor I had mentioned that she heard about the cocoa butter may help them. But since the skin is actually being stretched, the best thing to do is either slow down on the eating or the workouts.

As for bruising: a bruise is the Red Blood Cells that have leaked out of a broken vessel (from being hit). They are dark at first because they are still alive. However, these cells start to die because they are not in the blood stream any longer. When they die off, they change colors so your bruise will show all kinds of pretty colors before it goes away.

Palmer's coco butter

The stretch marks - Palmers cocoa butter soap and shea butter lotion
The bruises - are only getting darker because time has passesd since the bruising. They will fade soon. Water won't change them. Try rubbing a light coating of patroleum jelly on them.

I still have stretch marks from being fat getting frost and itching my thighs. almost 40 years ago. Bruises- am covered with them- always bumping into stuff- but I have noticed that as soon as I crash into a corner or a piece of furniture- if I rub it really hard there is never a bruise. Just can't do that all the time especially if hands are full
