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 do you tell if a bruise is a hicky?

  • Generally a hicky is on the side of the neck and it is causing by the other person vigorously sucking on that section of the neck causing the blood to surface under the skin and is blue/red (mostly red in color.) A bruise is on another part of the body where you may have hit your shin or arm and is dark blue; sometimes black and as it heals can have a yellowing appearance.

Can a cerebral contusion of frontal lobe occur without fracture skull or laceration of scalp by direct blow?

Yes, in fact it is quite common, especially in car accidents or falls. The brain has some ability to move within the skull, and if the head is hit from behind and the brain then hits the front of the skull, this is called a "contracoup" injury. So there may be a laceration or skull fracture in the back and a frontal lobe contusion, or there may be no noticeable damage on the head. CT and MRI may also be normal, by the way. We generally call the symptoms that ensue from this type of injury concussion and then post-concussive syndrome. It may include headaches, memory problems, dizziness, etc.

Are dark bruises bad?

Bruise coloring goes through a natural progression. At first, it can look purplish or pink to reddish. This is because blood from cappillaries (very small blood vessels) has leaked into surrounding tissues.

Within a day or so, bruises can look brown or black showing that the previous bleeding under the skin is "old". From the moment a bruise occurs, the body sends natural defenses to the area to do "clean up" inside and help it heal. Macrophages is one of the primary defenses; they are like little "Pack Man" parts of each cell that go in and take out the tissue bleeding. They bring more oxygen into the area to help healing; this is why bruises sometimes feel hotter than other skin.

After 3 days to 2 weeks, bruises can take on a rainbow of colors, from pink, purple, black, green, etc. The changing color again indicates how long ago a bruise happened. None of these colors are worrisome, although they can look quite bad.

If a bruise develops a lump, or if you tend to bruise easily, you should see a doctor to get it checked out.

How can you heal a bruise quickly?

When first noticed, put ice on it. Keep it on 15 minutes a day for 2 or 3 days. Also, to stop blood flow, whenever you get the chance, lay down on a couch or bed, and put some pillows underneath your leg or arm or wherever your bruise is. You want to keep it elevated above your heart. On the third or fourth day, start taking hot baths (as hot as you can stand) or take a washcloth and drench it in hot water, then apply to skin with pressure. Keep alternating these steps every few days. It takes time for a bruise to heal, but if you want it to go away quicker, use these steps. If the bruise doesn't go away after two weeks after using these steps, consult a doctor.
