Bruises appear when a certain part of your body was hit by something hard. This causes for some blood vessels to break and let blood flow out and go to surrounding tissues, making it appear to be black or purplish stain on the skin. Bruises go away naturally but you can also treat it with cold compress using ice bags or cooling gel bags. You may also takeacetaminophen or ibuprofen.
