   What causes a bruise to change color?

   • Bruising typically occurs when a person receives an injury to an area of their skin, such as from falling or bumping into something. The blood vessels between the skin and other tissues in the body burst. The blood pools under the surface of the skin, causing a bruise. It is natural for a bruise to change color during the healing process.

   What does a bruise look like?

   • How a bruise looks depends on a lot of things, including your natural skin tone, how bad the injury that caused it was, and how long you've had it.

   What causes bruises under skin?

   • Bruises happen when blood leaks out of your veins and capillaries and pools under your skin because there isn't an opening for the blood to get out of your body. Blood cells called platelets stop your bleeding, but the pool of blood under your skin can change your skin color and cause swelling, pain, and tenderness.
