A bruise that appears without any memory of bumping into anything... a bruise that doesn't easily fade when it gets bruised. Can I just leave it alone?

Do you often get bruises?

Since I was young, I have been more prone to bruising than others.

I was the kind of person who could carry things more easily and loudly than others, but it took a long time to disappear...

This hasn't changed even after I became an adult, and these days I can't even recall the last time I bumped into anything...

Ow, why does it hurt so much when I touch somewhere? When I check, I find bruises all over my body.

But... besides the bruises from bumps, I really get bruised more easily than others.

Even just trying to do something or getting indigestion causes my hands to turn bright red and bruise, and I bruise easily even from injections or acupuncture... It got to the point where I even bruised when I was stung by a bee before.

Haha, that's a bruise from when I was stung by a bee last year~

 

 

Recently, I had a severe neck disc issue and received an injection, but look at the bruise on my neck;;;; It's unbelievable;;;

 

 

 

This is a bruise I got last year when I had joint pain and had cupping therapy...;;;

 

It's just a small bruise that appears in an unseen area, so I think it will go away soon~ but if I get a big bruise in a visible spot, I really wonder, is it domestic violence?? It's so embarrassing and uncomfortable to see.

If you bump quite hard, you can get a large bruise, and since it lasts a long time, the color changes through all the colors of the rainbow, from purple to green to yellow, almost resembling a rainbow.

When I was young, my mom used to massage me with raw eggs... If you leave bruises untreated for a long time, blood clots can form and travel through the blood vessels, potentially blocking them, so I was told to go to the Korean medicine clinic to drain the dead blood. They also used to scare me about it... I'm not sure if that's an accurate story, though...

I'm still getting bruises frequently even as I get older... so I do worry a bit...

A few years ago, I fell badly on the subway stairs~ I got a really huge bruise on my thigh. I thought there was no problem other than the bruise, so I just let it go~~~

I don't know if you'll be able to see this well... but the bruise on my thigh has peeled off;;;;;;;;;

 

 

I have a lot of fat, so it's not very noticeable... that area is sunken in... but it doesn't come out...

I just thought to myself, what kind of cell died there??? and moved on.

My nephew's dimples appeared after he hit his cheek on the edge of a desk when he was young.

Lately, I keep falling and bumping into things, so I can't help but worry unnecessarily...

Is it okay to just leave this bruise alone? When the bruise is large, I wonder if I should go to the hospital or take some kind of action;;;

What do you all do when you get bruised? Do you even apply bruise cream or something?

I found an article about people who frequently get bruises.

A bruise refers to a condition where bleeding and swelling are visible on the skin due to an impact, and medically it is called 'purpura.' However, there are cases where bruises tend to form easily. What could be the reason for that?

◇Weak capillaries are the cause

There is a constitution that tends to bruise more easily than others. This includes people with weaker capillaries due to genetics, aging, or thin skin. In such cases, even a slight bump can cause blood vessels to rupture, leading to bruising. When the capillaries burst, blood leaks out of the vessels and accumulates under the skin, initially appearing red and gradually turning blue.

Platelet function issues

Our body has platelets that clot blood when bleeding occurs. However, if platelets are relatively deficient or their function is impaired, blood can easily leak outside the blood vessels, leading to easy bruising. ▲If a bruise does not disappear for more than two weeks ▲If nosebleeds occur frequently ▲If bleeding caused by tooth extraction or other procedures does not stop ▲If menstruation lasts longer than 10 days, it is advisable to visit a hospital for an accurate diagnosis.

◇Overuse and prolonged use of medication

People who frequently develop bruises should check the medications they are using. As mentioned earlier, if there is an abnormality in platelet function, bruising occurs easily. Overdose of heparin, aspirin, and similar drugs can suppress platelet activity. Additionally, long-term use of high-dose steroids can also cause easy bruising because steroids damage the tissues around blood vessels and weaken the skin.

◇In order, cold compress followed by hot compress

Meanwhile, to quickly reduce a bruise, you should follow the correct order of applying heat and cold. Immediately after getting a bruise, you should first apply cold compresses to constrict the blood vessels. This causes the capillaries to contract, preventing blood from leaking out further and spreading the bruise. Using an ice pack or similar, gently press on the bruised area. After a day or two, it is better to apply consistent pressure and massage the bruised area with a rounded object. This helps disperse the coagulated blood more effectively, speeding up the disappearance of the bruise. Warm compresses are recommended 2 to 3 days after the bruise occurs. Warm compresses dilate the blood vessels, promote blood circulation, and help the bruise fade more quickly.
