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.

Can you eat bruises on apples?
Yes, I do it all the time. They tend to have a deeper more caramel-like flavor that I like. Although one shouldn't ever eat the mold of a moldy apple, and it tends to be unpleasant to eat an entirely brown apple, you can still eat it without worry.
Can a bruise under toenail be cancer?
It might. It depends on how you got it. I have a bruise under my toenail from my friend who stepped on my foot with her high heels on. If this comes out of the blue, and it won't stop hurting, then you might have it. It's very rare. If you got this from something that hurt your toenail like I did, then It probably is not skin cancer.

I'm hoping you're just curious... hitting someone hard enough to cause a bruise can result in serious injury or even death in some cases, so you shouldn't do it.
Yes, I think you do. While the whiplash and the pain are typical post motor vehicle accidents, if you didn't receive an examination, you may have far more extensive injuries. Also, the hospital can help with pain control. Also, if you have received a long term injury, the insurance companyt will be lots more likely to be amenable if you have a VERY recent exam, showing the injury resulted from the car accident. If you wait a month, the insurance company may say the injury either occurred after the accident, or was exacerbated by your failure to obtain proper care. In other words, -- YES :} Go now.

A contusion is a bruise. Bruises are weird-- they do not always occur right after being hurt. But they often show up within 24 hours.
