Etymology
The term "bruise" comes from the Old English brȳsan, meaning "to crush, break". The term "contusion" comes from the Latin contusio, meaning "a bruising".
Symptoms
Bruising is usually marked by a discoloration of the skin, pain, swelling, and tenderness. The bruise may start out as a red spot, then turn purple or black, and finally yellow or green as it heals.
Causes
Bruising is caused by blunt impact to the body, which damages small blood vessels beneath the skin. Certain medications, such as anticoagulants, and medical conditions, such as hemophilia or leukemia, can also increase the likelihood of bruising.
Treatment
Treatment for bruising typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Over-the-counter pain medications may also be used. In severe cases, medical attention may be necessary.
