Bruises, a small matter that is not small
First of all, let's understand how bruises occur. Bruises happen when the body experiences an impact ranging from mild to severe, causing the blood vessels under the skin to rupture and blood to leak into the surrounding area. This causes a change in color on the skin in the affected area. Initially, it may appear purple, then change to gray or green before eventually turning brown. The color change is associated with the healing process of the bruise, which typically takes 7-10 days.
