The discoloration you see as a bruise on the surface of your skin is from blood that has pooled in or under your skin. On people with lighter skin tones, bruises may start out red or purple soon after the injury, then turn light brown, green, or yellow as they heal. On people with darker skin tones, bruises can look purple, dark brown, or black.</p><div id="art-091e9c5e80010c73-em-image-1" class="em-mod-image" ref="art-091e9c5e80010c73-em-image-1"> <aside data-e2e="ia-image" align="middle" class="ia-module-container ia-image landscape " data-metric-module="ia-img-soc"> <figure> <div class="main"> <img src="https://img.lb.wbmdstatic.com/vim/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/article_thumbnails/BigBead/bruises_bigbead/1800x1200_bruises_bigbead.jpg" alt="bruise comparison photos"/> </div> <figcaption> <p class="module_description" > Bruises may start out red or purple on people with lighter skin tones.

Hematomas are usually painful and may make the skin over it feel raised, spongy, rubbery, and/or lumpy. Hematomas are more serious than <a href="https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/ecchymosis" id="9906ba9c-7f89-4fcf-bf64-c6962d1d04a1;medical_reference">ecchymoses</a>, and they generally need medical attention. </p></section><section><pagebreak /> <p><strong>Purpura vs. bruise</strong></p><p>Purpura are small patches of blood under the skin. These are between about 4 millimeters (about as big around as a tablet of aspirin) and 10 millimeters (about as big around as triple-A battery), so they're smaller than an ecchymosis, but larger than petechiae. They may look reddish-purple on lighter skin tones and brownish-black on darker skin tones.</p><p><strong>Petechiae vs. bruises</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/what-are-petechiae" id="c7ad9fbd-c2ed-4906-9c3a-b22cdffe9b86;medical_reference">Petechiae</a> (pronounced puh-tee-kee-uh) are very small areas (pinpoint, or less than 2 millimeters around) of blood under the skin or in your mucous membranes (such as in your mouth or on your eyelids). These look a little like a rash with purple, red, or brown dots of blood, but they aren't raised or bumpy. They don't itch and they generally aren't painful. </p></section><section><h2 class="jumplink-headers" id="091e9c5e80010c73-1-3">What Causes Bruising?</h2><p>Bruises happen when blood leaks out of your veins and capillaries and pools under your skin because there isn't an opening for the blood to get out of your body. Blood cells called platelets stop your bleeding, but the pool of blood under your skin can change your skin color and cause swelling, pain, and tenderness. </p></section></div><div class="article-page " data-page="2"><section> <p>Your blood vessels may seep blood under your skin for a few reasons:</p><ul><li>You were injured or had physical trauma (most common).</li><li>You have aging skin.</li><li>You have a medical condition that changes your blood <a href="https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-to-know-mean-platelet-volume-tests" id="af193cb2-b921-450b-be08-5f5a617c20da;medical_reference">platelet count</a>, such as an autoimmune disease, hemophilia, or leukemia.</li><li>You take a medicine that reduces or prevents blood clotting, like anticoagulants (such as heparin or warfarin), antiplatelets (such as clopidogrel), aspirin, or steroids.</li></ul><p><strong>Is it normal to bruise after a tattoo?</strong></p><p>Yes, it's fairly common to bruise after a tattoo. Right after a tattoo, it's normal for your skin around your tattoo to be red, irritated, swollen, warm, and sometimes bruised. These skin reactions are part of the healing process and usually last about 3-7 days.</p><p dir="ltr"> </p></section><section><h2 class="jumplink-headers" id="091e9c5e80010c73-2-5">Why Do I Bruise So Easily?</h2><div id="art-091e9c5e80010c73-em-slideshow-2" class="em-mod-slideshow" ref="art-091e9c5e80010c73-em-slideshow-2"></div><p dir="ltr">Here are some conditions that may cause you to bruise easily:</p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>Getting older</strong></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>As you age, your skin gets thinner and you lose some of the layer of fat that cushions your blood vessels and protects you from injury.

It's rare to have extremely low levels of vitamin C, but when you do, your blood vessels may be weaker.

It's part of how your body repairs itself.</p></section></div><div class="article-page " data-page="4"><section> <p>The typical stages of a bruise are based on the color changes that happen in people with lighter skin tones. These stages include:</p><ul><li>At the time of injury or soon after, you will have a bump that looks red or purple. You may have swelling and your skin will likely be tender.</li><li>After a couple of days, your bruise may look blue or black.</li><li>After 5-10 days, your bruise may turn green or yellow.</li><li>After 10-14 days, your bruise may look light brown, and it will continue to get lighter and lighter until it fades away to your natural skin tone. </li></ul></section><section><pagebreak /> <p>On darker skin tones, you may not notice redness at the time of injury. Instead, you may feel a bump under your skin and it may be tender. As the bruise develops, the skin over your bruise may look dark brown or black. In general, people with darker skin and hair will have darker-colored bruises. People with medium skin tones may see more red and yellow color in their bruises than people with lighter or darker skin tones.</p><p><strong>Yellow bruise</strong></p><p>One study showed that the development of a yellow color was the most noticeable change in a bruise over time. The development of a yellow color happened much faster in people who are younger than 65 years old.

Doctors will usually leave bruised ribs to heal on their own because there's no easy way to splint bruised or broken ribs. You can support your own healing in the following ways:</p><ul><li>Breathe normally and cough when you need to because it helps clear mucus from your lungs, which will help prevent chest infections, like <a href="https://www.webmd.com/lung/understanding-pneumonia-basics" id="e82efa95-634d-4df7-bc24-b6b60c747a80;medical_reference">pneumonia</a>.</li><li>Hold a pillow against your chest when you cough to support your ribs.</li><li>Walk around and move your shoulders every once in a while to help you clear mucus from your lungs.</li><li>Once an hour, take 10 slow, deep breaths.</li><li>The first few nights, try to prop yourself up when you sleep because it will ease your pain and allow you to breathe more normally.</li><li>Don't smoke.</li><li>Don't bind your ribs, because that may prevent your lungs from fully expanding.</li><li>Don't lie down or stay still for a long time.</li><li>Don't strain yourself or lift heavy objects.</li></ul></section></div><div class="article-page " data-page="5"><section> <p><strong>Bruises on legs and arms</strong></p><p>Your legs and arms are the most common places to get bruises. You may get them if you had a fall, got hurt playing sports, or bumped into a piece of furniture. People over 65 years old and those assigned female at birth (AFAB) are more likely to get bruises than others because these groups generally have thinner skin and smaller blood vessels.</p><p>If you have a bruise on your arm or leg and signs of a blood clot in the same limb, call your doctor. <a href="https://www.webmd.com/dvt/blood-clot-symptoms" id="0fde0701-5b91-4360-b4eb-56b9a92b43f9;medical_reference">Signs of a blood clot</a> include redness and swelling that gets worse over time and pain in the limb.

You may get it if you hit your thumb with a hammer or stub your toe, but you may also get it from wearing tight shoes or training for a marathon. At the time of injury, your nail may feel sore or tender, but the pressure that builds up under your nail as the blood pools can cause severe pain. Your nail may lift off your finger or toe, and the color of your nail may change. You should go see your doctor if you're bleeding and it won't stop, the pain is too intense, or you see a lot of damage to the base of your nail. </p></section><section><pagebreak /> <p>If necessary, your doctor can pierce your nail to drain the blood and fluid built up underneath.

If this is the case, you will likely also have other signs, such as a rapid increase in your breast size, feelings of heaviness, burning or tenderness in the breast, ridges or pitting in the skin, or an inward-turned nipple. You may also notice swollen lymph nodes in your armpit or near your collarbone on the same side as the bruised breast.</p><p>If you have a bruise on your breast and don't know how you got it or have other symptoms, go talk to your doctor.</p><p><strong>Bruise on the bottom of the foot</strong></p><p>People who run regularly may get something called a stone bruise (<a href="https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/metatarsalgia" id="4dd96411-0f29-4696-beab-5243178191bb;medical_reference">metatarsalgia</a>). This is swelling and tenderness where your toe bones connect on the bottom of your foot. You may or may not have skin discoloration, too. With a stone bruise, you may notice pain or tenderness when you press on that point on your foot, pull up on your toes, or flex your foot upward. It can be caused by wearing old or worn-out shoes while you train, running or walking on hard surfaces like concrete, or training for too long.</p></section></div><div class="article-page " data-page="7"><section> <p>If you have a stone bruise, take a break from running, don't walk around barefoot, and follow the general advice for treating a bruise: Use <a href="https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/when-use-heat-ice" id="5f5cdc79-4006-4210-a3b5-2b558a7d8926;medical_reference">ice packs</a> for the first 1-2 days, then use heat and take over-the-counter pain medication.

It's less serious than a bone break, but the injury has damaged some part of the inside structure of your bone. Any type of bone in your body can be bruised, but if so, you'll usually also have damage in nearby structures of your skeleton, such as your ligaments (tissues that connect your bones and joints). You may get bone bruises from sports injuries, car crashes, falls from a height, joint sprains, or medical conditions like <a href="https://www.webmd.com/arthritis/understanding-arthritis-symptoms" id="2483841d-1374-4048-bb7a-b97a48c72fb6;medical_reference">arthritis</a>.</p><p>Bone bruises usually last longer (1-2 months) than soft tissue bruises, and they're more painful, but most will heal with rest and the same home care as for other types of bruises. Your doctor will likely suggest you use a brace or crutches for bone bruises in your legs and feet. Rarely, if your bone bruise is very large, you may not recover blood flow in that area.
