What can i do to help fade away stretch marks and shrink them?and can hot water make bruises darker?because before i got into the shower my bruise was like almost gone then i got into the shower and it got darker.First one to reply with both answeres gets 10 points.

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.
