Understanding Bruises: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Bruise is a type of injury that occurs when blood vessels under the skin are damaged and bleed, causing discoloration and swelling. It can be caused by a blow to the skin, such as from a fall or a punch, or by a sharp object that punctures the skin. The blood that leaks out of the damaged vessels collects in the tissue, causing the characteristic purple or black color of a bruise.
Bruises can be painful and can take several weeks to heal. They may also leave behind scars or discoloration on the skin. In some cases, bruises can be a sign of more serious injuries, such as internal bleeding or nerve damage. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any severe or persistent symptoms after a bruise.
