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.
