| − | '''Definition: bruising is the result of bleeding and tissue destruction
| |
| − | within and under the intact skin that causes damage to capillary
| |
| − | beds or larger blood vessels.'''

| |
| − | Bruising commonly complicates skin lacerations and other injuries.
| |
| − | It may be difficult to detect skin bruising because of the skin colour and
| |
| − | dense hair coat.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Treatment is seldom required but in some sites, such as eyelids or
| |
| − | penis, ice packs or possibly cold-hosing can be used to reduce the local
| |
| − | inflammation and control swelling and further damage to the skin. Healing
| |
| − | is usually uneventful and with minimal scarring.
