There is an old joke in medicine that doctors tell. It goes like this: A patient goes to the doctor and says, "Doc, it hurts when I do this (showing the doctor)." The doctor replies, "Well, then stop doing that!" The meaning is, not everything that hurts means it is serious, and sometimes, the only time the spot really hurts is when we touch it.

Your bruise hurts because, first, you hit it on something to get the bruise. Second, it hurts because the body creates inflammation when it tries to heal an injured spot. So the more you touch it, the more it might hurt. Just leave it alone.. The body will naturally make the bruise go away, usually in 7-10 days.
