Bruises



What are bruises?

Bruises are usually caused as a result of a fall or bumping into things. This causes the small blood vessels to rupture and blood to leak out leading to the observed discoloration of the tissue.

Anyone can suffer from bruising, however being overweight, anaemic or pre-menstrual can increase a person’s susceptibility to bruising.
