All about Bruises
A bruise forms when a bump breaks tiny blood vessels under the skin. The blood that leaks out causes the area to look dark and feel tender. Bruises change colour over several days as your body reabsorbs the blood.
Bruises often go through shades of blue, purple, green and yellow as they heal. A cold pack can help reduce swelling in the first day or two. Tell an adult if you have large bruises that appear for no clear reason.
