Bruise coloring goes through a natural progression. At first, it can look purplish or pink to reddish. This is because blood from cappillaries (very small blood vessels) has leaked into surrounding tissues.
Within a day or so, bruises can look brown or black showing that the previous bleeding under the skin is "old". From the moment a bruise occurs, the body sends natural defenses to the area to do "clean up" inside and help it heal. Macrophages is one of the primary defenses; they are like little "Pack Man" parts of each cell that go in and take out the tissue bleeding. They bring more oxygen into the area to help healing; this is why bruises sometimes feel hotter than other skin.
After 3 days to 2 weeks, bruises can take on a rainbow of colors, from pink, purple, black, green, etc. The changing color again indicates how long ago a bruise happened. None of these colors are worrisome, although they can look quite bad.
If a bruise develops a lump, or if you tend to bruise easily, you should see a doctor to get it checked out.
No, but the skin may stay touchy for awhile after the bruise clears. I smashed my fingers in my garage door and the skin is still a little senstive in that area. Make sure you put ice on an area when a bruise could be that will help it, but you have to do it in the first 20 min.
Yes. But it might go away. If it doesn't go away go see a doctor .
