bruises or stretch marks????
Ok so directly under my boobs are these deep purple marks that look like bruises, not like stretch marks. They appeared awhile ago, before I had stopped wearing underwire, so I assumed they were bruises from my bra getting too tight. But, they are still there! I don't have ANY other stretch marks, and I use stretch mark cream. What do you think? Anyone else have this?
I'm not including a pic because, well who wants to see bottom boob? Nobody!

Re: bruises or stretch marks????
I can honestly say I have no clue...which direction do the purple marks go?? If they feel kinda indented or something they're probably stretch marks...just so you know--Stretch mark cream dont do crap. Sorry.....
I know stretch mark cream doesn't reverse them- but I give it some credit for the lack of marks everywhere else.
They aren't directional, or indented. They really look like bruises. My bra wasn't really that tight, I just can't think of anything else besides stretch marks (which I don't want them to be). Once I noticed the marks I stopped wearing it though.
lol...I guess youre right--I've put the cream on and only have stretch marks on my hips...I'm still angry at it for doing that though.
They dont sound like stretch marks if they aren't directional or anything...most of the time they face the direction of the stretching! Maybe it is a bruise....or maybe the wire in your bra was causing the marks...I know this is probably far fetched and kinda gross sounding(LOL) but if you sweat under your boob maybe it did something to the wires in your bra and put marks on you (like how a necklace turns your neck green) haha I really have no idea...
The stretchmarks underneath my boobs and on my belly are deep and purple. Eventually they go red and then fade to white.
I noticed I had these too a couple weeks back. I really think it was my bra though. It did feel a little snug - so I sopped wearing those particular kinds and it faded away. It was a long line - I have stretch marks and it didnt quite look like them. So, I would definitely change bras.
