BRUISE HEALING RATE: Healing rate on bruises varies on individual. Most of bruising lesions normally resolved within 2 weeks after the injury event. However, it's not unusual that bruise still presents on the 4th weeks. It depends on if there is any treatments started for this injuries, i.e. Icing, massaging, compressing. Underlying circulatory issue also could lead to slow healing for bruise. Hope that helps!
