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.

What is the treatment for lump caused by under a bruise?
A contusion, or bruise, occurs when small capillaries leak blood into tissue under the skin. To stop bleeding, the body sends platelets to "clot" the blood. This small clot acts like a door so the capillary won't leak more. As the capillary heals, the lump goes away. As the body reabsorbs blood from the tissues, the bruise heals. For the first 48-72 hours, you can use ice, 10-15 minutes on, then off... several times a day. Then, switch to moist heat, such as a warm washcloth.

What insect bite leaves a bruise around the puncture?
Almost all insect bites or stings leave welts, if they have the horsepower to break the skin. If it's not a chemical blend they inject to make feeding easier, their saliva can also cause a localised allergic reaction. The bite should be expected to increase for a few hours, and then decrease in size and effect in 1-2 days, although some stay longer. Unless the bite expands, changes color, or you experience rashes or shortness of breath (allergic effects), you're pretty safe. However, any allergic reactions -- and especially difficulty in breathing -- mean it's time to call for help.
