When you bump into something hard, tiny blood vessels under your skin can break. 🩹 The blood leaks out and makes a colorful spot—that's a bruise! 💜 It might look blue, purple, or even green before it fades away.
Your body is like a superhero—it fixes the bruise all by itself! 🌟
Bruises happen when you bump or hit something hard enough to damage tiny blood vessels (called capillaries) under your skin. 💥 The blood leaks into nearby tissues, creating a colorful mark—that's your bruise! 🟣 Over time, your body breaks down the blood, and the bruise changes color (blue → green → yellow) before fading.
Why does it change color? It’s like a little science experiment inside you! The blood’s hemoglobin changes as it heals.
Bruises form when small blood vessels (capillaries) near the skin’s surface break due to impact—like falling or bumping into something. 🩸 The trapped blood spreads under the skin, causing discoloration. Over days, your body’s immune system clears the blood, changing the bruise’s color as hemoglobin breaks down:
Some people bruise more easily due to thin skin, medications, or health conditions.
