The trapped blood creates a bruise that&#8217;s black, purple or blue then changes color as it heals.<\/p>\n<p>You can enhance bruise healing with a few simple techniques.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Elevate the bruised area above heart level, if possible.<\/li>\n<li>Apply an ice pack wrapped in a thin towel. Leave it in place for 20 minutes. Repeat several times for a day or two after the injury. This helps to reduce the swelling and pain.<\/li>\n<li>If the bruised area is swelling, put an elastic bandage around it, but not too tight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the skin isn&#8217;t broken, you don&#8217;t need to bandage a bruise. Consider taking a nonprescription pain reliever if needed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have very painful swelling in the bruised area.<\/li>\n<li>Suspect a bruise has been caused by child abuse, domestic violence or elder abuse.<\/li>\n<li>Still have pain three days after a minor injury.<\/li>\n<li>Have frequent, large or painful bruises.<\/li>\n<li>Have bruises that begin suddenly or seem to develop for no reason.<\/li>\n<li>Have a personal or family history of easy bruising or bleeding.<\/li>\n<li>Notice a lump form over the bruise, which may be a sign of pooling blood, also called a hematoma.<\/li>\n<li>Have unusual bleeding, such as from the nose or gums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to administer first aid for a bruise.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[1686,1729,1687,1682,1684],"class_list":["post-52551","mayo","type-mayo","status-publish","hentry","tag-anatomical-structure","tag-health-category","tag-medical-procedure","tag-person-group-concept","tag-theme-of-focus","content_type-first-aid"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
