BRUISES
DESCRIPTION |

|
|
Healthy people will develop bruising
from blunt injury or with sprains and strains. There are a number of
diseases that cause excessive bleeding or bleeding from injuries too
slight to have consequences in healthy people. Bruising that is
visible beneath the changes colors as it resolves and is reabsorbed.
Initially dark red or purple, it fades through green to orange and
then yellow. Sometimes bleeding that happens in one place will flow
downhill and appear in another. For instance, retroperitoneal
bleeding (into the back of the abdomen) will eventually appear in
the groin, and bleeding into the thigh or knee will work its way
down to the ankle. |
