Every bruise results in minor bleeding and a small blood clot. A blood clot is the body's natural way to stop bleeding and heal the site. If you mean cause a dangerous clot, a bruise is not in a vein. It is more a superficial injury. The only way a clot is dangerous is if it can travel to the heart or brain. Bruises don't cause clots that will travel.
