A member asked:
Was bit by a friend out of playfulness today. no bleeding or breaks in the skin, however there is a bruise. am i safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the skin is unbroken, then the force of the impact has caused some minor capillary bleeding leading to bruising. 'this will clear quickly and there is no danger as you described the injury.
