Yes, stitches can bruise. When a needle and thread are used to close a wound, the process can cause slight trauma to the surrounding tissue, leading to bruising in the area. This is typically a normal response and may resolve on its own as the healing progresses. However, if there is excessive swelling, redness, or pain, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
