A member asked:
I wonder: eg. when you remove a pimple or skratch your skin. and after that the skin around the area is a little pink for a while is it a bruise too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Scratching or removing a pimple will trigger an inflammatory process of white blood cells. This will make the skin inflamed and red.
