A member asked:
I banged the inner top of my foot 5 days ago. no swelling, bruise faded to yellow and brown. still hurts a little if pressed. is this healing normal?

Normal...: It sounds like you banged your foot hard enough that it bled under the skin. As it heals, the bruise comes out turning a blackish color. As the bruise breaks down, it turns a brown/yellow color before fading away.
