Bruises form when small blood vessels under the skin break and leak blood, which then pools and creates a visible mark. This can happen due to injury, impact, or trauma to the skin. The body's natural healing process helps to reabsorb the blood and eventually the bruise fades away.

How does the skin regeneration process work to repair and renew damaged skin cells?

The skin regeneration process involves the formation of new skin cells to replace damaged ones. This process is mainly driven by specialized cells called stem cells located in the skin's deeper layers. When the skin is damaged, these stem cells divide and differentiate into new skin cells, which migrate to the damaged area and form a new layer of skin. This helps repair and renew the skin, restoring its function and appearance.
