A member asked:

My bruise isn't visible anymore but still hurts. i have had it for a month, when should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Where is it?: If the bruise is on your arm, leg, back then that is not uncommon. The only time I would be concerned would be if the area suddenly became red, hot, swollen. The scarring process takes some time and pain can linger for a month or two but will slowly decline.
