Dear user,
I really understand your concern.
Based on your details there's nothing to worry about. It seems to be related to hot shower where the high temperature dilates blood vessels , so please avoid this. Rest and applying ice dices locally will reduce them. If you use any drug or if the bruises will persist next time more than 2 weeks please see a doctor.
All the best!
