A bruise, also called a contusion or an ecchymosis, happens when a part of the body is struck and the muscle fibers and connective tissue underneath are crushed but the skin doesn't break. Bruises usually occur after an injury caused by blunt objects. Unexplained bruises can indicate that a child has a bleeding tendency. Blood from damaged blood vessels deep beneath the skin collects near the surface of the skin resulting in what we think of as a black and blue mark.

Home Treatment after Bruise happens:

• Apply ice to the bruised area for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Give acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain.
• Don't use aspirin because it may prolong the bleeding.
• After 48 hours apply a warm washcloth for 10 minutes 3 times a day to help the skin reabsorb the blood.
• Do not open blood blisters because it will increase the possibility of infection. The blisters will dry up and peel off in 1 to 2 weeks.
• If the bruise takes up a large area of the leg or foot, the leg should be kept elevated as much as possible during the first 24 hours after the injury.
• If unsure  see a health care professional.
