Most people experience bruises from time to time.
You hit your leg while moving furniture.
You accidentally knock your arm against a doorframe.
In most cases, bruises are harmless and disappear on their own.
But what happens when bruises appear without explanation?
While unexplained bruising does not automatically mean you have a serious illness, it can sometimes be your body’s way of signaling that something deserves attention.
What Is a Bruise?
A bruise occurs when tiny blood vessels beneath the skin become damaged.
Most bruises change color as they heal.
They often begin as reddish or purple marks.
This process is completely normal.
