Bruises (contusions)

You should not massage a contusion like a bruise until 72 hours after the injury. Light bruises can be gently massaged as long as it does not cause pain as the massage can improve blood flow to the area.

Stop taking caffeine in coffee, soda, and chocolate. This has helped me reduce the frequency of lumps in my armpit. Now, I get lumps only when I treat myself to chocolate (I go caffeine free with soda and coffee). I can actually plan for a lump if I ingest caffeine. Nonetheless, you need to have it checked out by a doctor, because it could be related to lymph nodes or even breast tissue problems. If the lumps come and go, caffeine and check-ups may be all you need to control the problem. If the lump is constant, see a doctor immediately. Good luck.

A bruise (also known as a contusion) usually last about 2 weeks. You can determine the age of a bruise by the color of it. It usually is:

day 1-5 the bruise appears black or blue

day 5-10 the bruise is lighter and more or less green or dark yellow

day 10-14 the bruise turns yellow and then fades completely

A bruise does not always hurt. In fact, most don't. Pain would come from the underlying injury, not from the bruise itself. A bruise is simply blood in tissues from small broken blood vessels.

10-12 months

You can bruise yourself by knocking or hitting a body part. It does not have to be hit hard - just enough to burst a blood vessel beneath the skin.

It can be, its called a subdural hematoma - you might want a doctor to take a look.

we get bruises because it is bleeding under the skin which causes the discoloration. If you bump yourself and have a bruise athe next day its from bleeding under the skin. If however you always have bruises or bruise eaisly see your doctor.

You would typically think some type of trauma would cause this, like pounding with your palm, or carpal tunnel surgery could certainly cause bruising. A bruise is really a broken blood vessel, (or several together). Look for other areas of bruising on your body as well and if you find you are bruising a lot or for no reason, you need to go to your Dr to have your blood analyzed.

Not necessarily. A bruise may occur from what you thought was only a small bump, or when you are so busy doing something (especially in sports) that you don't notice the injury until a bruise actually forms. However, if you are prone to getting these bruises and particularly if there is a family history of haemophilia and other like diseases, you should consult a doctor, just in case.

You got beat

It could be a poltergeist in other words a bad spirit, can be caused by interfering with spirit, using oija boards & other forms of communication between the living and the dead, or you could just have long finger nails and you got a mosquito bite and you scratched it in your sleep :)

ummm..... please specify what the difference between a bruise and a bruise is :)

Bruises do not disappear because they have no benefit from disappearing, or do not see this benefit.

It's kinda the same question as: "Why does cancer not disappear?"

They simply don't.

A contusion is a bruise. During the first 48-72 hours, ice applied several times a day for 10-15 minutes each time can reduce inflammation. After 72 hours, moist heat helps. Otherwise leave it alone. The body will fix it by itself.

a week or so depending on the severity but facial bruises recover faster than other areas since it is so well vascularized.

A lot of the time when the weather is hot or the temperature changes, your veins may tend to rise closer to your skin. Your vein may hurt because it is touching other things in your hand. Your hand bruises because your vein might partly break and you might bleed under your skin. This is normal and do not worry. The pain will go away once the vein has found space or when it has gone down.

Black people do, in fact, get bruises. So the question of "why" is invalid. However, since some are darker than others, it can sometimes be more difficult to see.

If it's a new bruise, put ice on it - 20 min on then off for an hour or two.

If it's an old bruise, see a doctor. You may have an infected haematoma.

Hope that helps.

A bruise is a damaged part of the muscle, causing it's redder complexion to turn more brown, thus miscoloring the skin for a fairly short period of time. Scars are cuts and tears of your epidermis, rather, your skin. After some time, your cut will heal and a thin, soft layer of skin will cover the cut, although sometimes leaving some patches to the fractured vain. (Leftover blood.) This thin layering is usually brown, like a bruise, and is what we call a scar.

The medical term for bruise is contusion. More than one bruise or a large area of bruises is called contusions. Contusions start off as black and blue, but as they heal, they change to other colors.

Yes, bruising can occur especially for people with sensitive skin or skin that bruises easily because of the forcefulness used during the massage. Bruises might not be visible until 24 hours later.

The only way I know that's possible is that if you stab the surface of the bruise

After 5 to 10 days, the bruise turns greenish or yellowish. ... All you have to do is apply cold to the bruise for half an hour to an hour at a time ... A bruise is getting more painful. Your bruise is swelling. You can't move a joint. ...
