Bruises (contusions)

Bruises are formed when an impact on the skin breaks capillaries and causes bleeding into skin tissue while the skin does not break. Bruises change color over time as the body begins to heal itself. In most cases, it takes a bruise about 2 weeks to repair itself.

How many types of bruises are there?

three:

A subcutaneous bruise is one that occurs just below the skin and will normally be considered mild. At another level, an intramuscular bruise occurs deeper within the belt of the muscle underneath and can cause some more significant damage. An even deeper bruise is a periosteal bruise which refers to a bone bruise, which can be very painful.

How do you treat bruises?

There's really not much that can be done about them once they've formed. Immediately after impact cold packs and compression bandages can be used to limit their size, but after that the body has to deal with them best it can. It's possible that massage might get them to fade a little faster, but I don't think it'd be worth the effort.
